Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The invention relates to an apparatus for generating azimuthally or radially polarized radiation by means of an optical waveguide ( 1 ), wherein the optical waveguide ( 1 ) has a structure which is suitable for conducting azimuthally or radially polarized modes ( 5, 7 ). The invention proposes that the azimuthally or radially polarized modes ( 5, 7 ) in the optical waveguide ( 1 ) have different effective refractive indices and, within the optical waveguide ( 1 ), a narrow-band grating ( 2 ) is arranged, in particular a fiber Bragg grating ( 2 ) which is designed such that the spectral distance between two azimuthally or radially polarized resonant modes ( 5, 7 ) is equal to or greater than the associated spectral bandwidth.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. Device for generating azimuthally or radially polarized radiation via an optical waveguide, wherein the optical waveguide has a structure which is suitable for conducting azimuthally and radially polarized modes, and wherein the azimuthally and radially polarized modes in the optical waveguide have different effective refractive indices and, within the optical waveguide, a narrow-band grating is arranged, which is configured to spectrally separate th…
