Simultaneous generation of helical beams with linear and radial polarization by use of a segmented half-wave plate

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Simultaneous generation of helical beams with linear and radial polarization is demonstrated by use of a segmented half-wave plate in a Ti:sapphire laser cavity. A linearly polarized Laguerre–Gaussian beam is converted to a radially polarized beam with a spiral phase shift and vice versa. In addition, these two beams coexist in the cavity, and the cavity emits one of these two beams from an output coupler.
