(Received 26 November 2007; accepted 18 December 2007; published online 15 January 2008)

We report on Nd3+:MgO:LiNbO3 active planar waveguides produced by 3 MeV carbon ion implantation at dose of 7.5×1014 cm−2. The extraordinary refractive index of the sample surface experiences positive alternations after the implantation and subsequent thermal annealing treatment, constructing enhanced-well confined waveguide structures. The propagation loss of the waveguide is 1–2 dB/cm, which means acceptable quality for further guide-wave applications. The microluminescence spectra of the waveguide show fairly good potentials for laser action at 929 and 1085 nm.
