ABSTRACT:
A solid state waveguide laser system is comprised of a cavity resonator formed of a solid state gain medium extending between input and output surfaces and having a reflectivity medium laterally bounding the gain medium and wherein the index of refraction of the reflectivity medium is greater than that of the gain medium.
