Grating waveguide structures for intracavity generation of beams with azimuthal polarization in an Yb:YAG thin-disk laser

摘要

We report on the design, fabrication, and spectroscopic characterization as well as on the intra-cavity employment ofgrating waveguide structures (GWS) for the generation of beams with azimuthal polarization in an Yb:YAG thin-disklaser. Two different GWS
