Abstrakt: Nd,Tm:YAG codoped single crystal waveguides were studied in order to discover if the presence of Nd3+ ions favors blue luminescence at 486 nm. Innovative implantation techniques were applied to locally change Δn and form varied H+ implanted channel structures in Nd,Tm:YAG buried epitaxial waveguiding layers. The guided blue luminescence due to the Tm3+ 1G43H6 transition was studied under infrared excitation at 785 nm (Tm3+ absorption) and 808 nm (Nd3+ absorption) for the epitaxial planar waveguides of different Tm3+ and Nd3+ concentrations for all the implanted channel waveguide structures.
