Surface channel waveguides (WGs) based on a half-ring (40-60-µm-diameter) depressed-index cladding (type III) geometry are fabricated in monoclinic Tm 3+ :MgWO 4 by femtosecond (fs) laser writing at a repetition rate of 1 kHz. The WGs are characterized by confocal laser microscopy and μ -Raman spectroscopy. A Tm 3+ :MgWO 4 WG laser generates 320 mW at ∼2.02µm with a slope efficiency of 64.4%. The WG emits a transverse single-mode and linear polarization ( E || N m ). A remarkable low loss of <0.1dB/cm is measured for the WG. Vibronic laser emission at ∼2.08µm is also achieved.
