Abstract
A radially polarized beam is generated from a laser by means of a resonant grating mirror. The design results and spectral characterization of a broadband polarizing mirror are presented as well as the mirror's operation in a laser resonator. In a long-term experiment a radially polarized beam with a power of was observed for several hours, proving the high stability of this polarizing scheme.
