All-Fiber Laser With Intracavity Acousto-Optic Dynamic Mode Converter for Efficient Generation of Radially Polarized Cylindrical Vector Beams

We report an all-fiber laser that emits a radially polarized cylindrical vector beam (CVB) at 1&#x00A0;&#x03BC;m based on an intracavity acousto-optic mode converter. We efficiently generate the CVB, taking advantage of the acousto-optic coupling from the HE<sub>11</sub> mode to...

description We report an all-fiber laser that emits a radially polarized cylindrical vector beam (CVB) at 1&#x00A0;&#x03BC;m based on an intracavity acousto-optic mode converter. We efficiently generate the CVB, taking advantage of the acousto-optic coupling from the HE<sub>11</sub> mode to the TM<sub>01</sub> mode in a two-mode fiber. The laser can be switched from emitting a Gaussian-like beam to a radially polarized CVB. Radially polarized CVBs with modal and polarization purities &#x003E;98&#x0025; and a maximum power of 65&#x00A0;mW were generated.
