Generation of high-power radially polarized beam

Authors:

Abstract
Radially polarized radiation of 1.8 kW was first obtained in an industrial high-power CO2 laser. Special reflective elements with an axial polarization selectivity of 22% were used as a rear mirror in the laser. The output radiation consisted mainly of an unpolarized mode TEM00 and a radially polarized mode R-TEM01*.
