Resumen
We report the formation of optical waveguides in the self-Raman Nd:YVO4 laser crystal by femtosecond
laser inscription. The confocal fluorescence and Raman images have revealed that the waveguide is constituted
by a locally compressed area in which the original fluorescence and Raman gains of the Nd:YVO4
system are preserved. Thus the obtained structures emerge as promising candidates for highly efficient self-
Raman integrated laser sources.
