- Abstract: A hollow focus lens (HFL) has been designed to effectively produce a focused annular beam for high-intensity pumping. By applying the central-dark pump beam, a monolithic Nd:YAG microchip laser without any extra optical elements is demonstrated to generate vector vortex beams with switchable radially polarized (RP) and azimuthally polarized (AP) states by easily controlling the pump power. The order and handedness of the output vortex beam remain stable during the switching of the RP and AP states. The monolithic Nd:YAG microchip laser provides a new laser source for applications such as material processing and optical manipulation.
