International audienceWe propose a fiber-based system aimed at generating radially and azimuthally polarized beams over spectral ranges of several tens of nanometers. The device is either adaptable to polychromatic sources such as supercontinuum fiber lasers or to tunable ones (optical parametric oscillator, laser diode, etc.). A preliminary version of the system has been engineered to work in the visible portion of the spectrum. The concept proposed here can be adapted to the infrared or blue-UV spectral domains. As a starting application, polychromatic Bessel beams of the first order have been produce
