Control of Vortex Helicity With a Quarter-Wave Plate in an Er:YAG Ceramic Solid State Laser
In this paper, we research the characteristics of the Laguerre-Gaussian (LG<sub>01</sub>) beams generated in an Er:YAG ceramic solid state laser pumped by an annular beam. The generated two LG<sub>01</sub> beams (LG<sub>0,+1 </sub> and LG<sub>0,&a...

| description | In this paper, we research the characteristics of the Laguerre-Gaussian (LG<sub>01</sub>) beams generated in an Er:YAG ceramic solid state laser pumped by an annular beam. The generated two LG<sub>01</sub> beams (LG<sub>0,+1 </sub> and LG<sub>0,−1</sub> modes) were found to have different thermally induced polarization behaviors and alternately existed in the resonator; then, a novel method was proposed and experimentally demonstrated to control the vortex helicity using a simple quarter-wave plate. |
