Abstract

Spectral broadening of a radially polarized (RP) pulse in a gas-filled hollow-core fiber (HCF) is experimentally studied. Broad spectrum covering from 540 nm to 1070 nm is obtained. It is found that the output spectrum preserves the RP state after nonlinear propagation in HCF, both for the components in the input pulse and for the newly generated spectral portion. This method shows great potential in generating RP sources with unprecedented spectral width, and may also be extended to other kinds of cylindrical vector beams.
