A mode-locked radially polarized laser based on a ceramic Nd:YAG rod that was transversely pumped by LD bars. The maximum output power of 10.6 W was achieved with the frequency of 45 MHz, the average pulse width of 75 ps Abstract: By using a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror, we demonstrated the generation of and the beam quality of M2 = 2.11.
