This presentation discusses the recent results on miniaturized pulsed solid-state lasers by utilizing femtosecond-laser inscribed crystalline channel waveguides and carbon-nanomaterial-based saturable absorbers. Based on optical characterization and optimization of the optical materials, integrated compact waveguide lasers present diverse pulsed operation regimes from Q-switching to continuous-wave mode-locking. Pulsing mechanism and various parameters in waveguide lasers are investigated to provide a basis for achieving higher performance of novel on-chip ultrafast lasers.
