Abstract
We present experimental results on the intracavity generation of radially polarized light by incorporation of a polarization-selective mirror in a -laser resonator. The selectivity is achieved with a simple binary dielectric diffraction grating etched in the backsurface of the mirror substrate. Very high polarization selectivity was achieved, and good agreement of simulation and experimental results is shown. The overall radial polarization purity of the generated laser beam was found to be higher than .
