Abstract
A radially polarized beam is axially symmetric and is able to produce tightly focused light fields beyond the Gaussian beam diffraction limit. However, with the current technology, its duration is limited by the relatively narrow bandwidth that the generation techniques can support. Using a 10 cycle pulse with a central wavelength of 1.8 μm, we show that radially polarized beams can be compressed to the few-cycle regime, while still maintaining their radially polarized nature. Therefore, it seems feasible, using only well-developed methods, to reach focused intensities of ∼1019 W/cm2. Conversion via high-harmonic generation will also open a route for applications in attosecond science, especially for a wide range of optical measurements and optical control that require high spatial and high temporal resolution.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
