A single-crystal Nd:YAG fiber with polished and coated endfaces has operated as a monolithic, guided-wave laser oscillator. The 47-..mu..m-diameter, 7-mm-length fiber oscillator with a threshold of 3.7 mW and a slope efficiency of 10.5%. Seventy-five percent of the laser power was in the fundamental spatial mode.
