摘要:
A simple technique for directly generating a radially polarized output beam from a cladding-pumped ytterbiumdoped fiber laser is reported. Our approach is based on the use of a nanograting spatially variant waveplate as an intracavity polarization-controlling element. The laser yielded ~32 W of output power (limited by available pump power) with a radially polarized TM
