Abstract
We compare the double-track waveguide lasers inscribed inside Nd:YAG crystals using femtosecond laser pulses at 515 nm and 1030 nm. For both source wavelengths, the highly efficient, continuous wave, single mode and stable lasing at 1064 nm has been achieved in a monolithic cavity formed by the crystal with dielectric coatings at the input and output end facets. In addition to source wavelength, the lasing performance and guiding properties for track separations of 15 µm and 30 µm are compared.
