Abstract

Waveguides doped gain active medium offer possible means of incorporating light sources and amplifiers into integrated optical circuits for comunications and sensor applications. In particular, the mediums that with wide gain bandwidth such as dye and Ti doped saphier are atractive for wavelength tuning. Dye is one of considerable mediums for the gain medium because there are many applicable materials from UV to near IR wavelength range, and they can be easily doped into organic and inorganic glass thin films. There are several reports for tunable operation of waveguide dye lasers with distributed feed back (DFB) using etched periodical grouves or interference fringes of two pump beam on a waveguide [1-4]. These lasers are, however; difficult to obtain stabilized single mode operation in comparison with distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) lasers especially in pulsed pumping. In this paper, we report successful single mode operation of a waveguide dye laser with second-order DBRs in pulsed pumping and its wavelength tunability.
