Abstract: Disclosed is a laser device. The laser device includes a substrate, a pump light source which is disposed on the substrate and provided with a light emitting layer configured to generate pump light, and an upper waveguide which is disposed above the pump light source in a first direction and provided with an upper resonator configured to allow laser light to be generated and resonate by using the pump light.

Abstract: A light-guide device includes a light guiding element (13) with a number of faces, including two parallel faces (26), for guiding light by internal reflection. A transparent optical element (19) has an interface surface for attachment to a coupling surface (14) of the light guiding element, and is configured such that light propagating within the transparent optical element passes through the interface surface and the coupling surface (14) so as to propagate within the light guiding element (13). A non-transparent coating (15) is applied to at least part of one or more faces of the light guiding element (13), defining an edge (17) adjacent to, or overlapping, the coupling surface (14) of the light guiding element (13). A quantity of transparent adhesive is deployed between the coupling surface and the interface surface so as to form an optically transmissive interface. An overspill region 31 of the adhesive extends to, and overlaps, the edge (17).
