Subsequently to the previous generation of ultrashort and ultra-broadband optical-vortex (OV) pulses (pulse energy: several tens of μJ) in few-cycle regime, we performed the generation of axisymmetrically polarized pulses with spatial complex amplitude modulation, which is suitable for a broadband spectrum. The generation system employs the combination of spatial light modulators in the 4-f configuration and a space variant wave plate as a common path interferometer. The spatial light modulators in the 4-f configuration offer the spatial dispersion compensation with respect to wavelength; in addition, the common path interferometer provides the stability to perturbation. We experimentally demonstrated the generation of various axisymmetrically polarized pulses by applying modulations of fundamental and higher-order Laguerre-Gauss modes with high purity. The experimental results show that we are able to generate arbitral axisymmetrically polarized pulses with spatial complex amplitude modulation.
