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