Abstract
The propagation dynamics of radially polarized (RP) pulses in a gas-filled hollow-core fiber (HCF) is numerically studied. It is found that the stable transverse mode of RP pulse in HCF is not TM01 mode, nor any eigenmodes in terms of Bessel functions. Compared with linearly polarized (LP) pulses, the RP pulses with the same initial pulse duration and energy have higher transmission efficiency, more uniform spectral broadening, and cleaner temporal profile after highly nonlinear propagation in HCF and better focusing properties. These results suggest that energetic few-cycle RP pulses can be generated more efficiently by directly spectral broadening the RP pulses in HCF followed by temporal compression.
