Abstract :
By using the extended Stokes parameters and the degree of polarization defined for the spatial distribution (DOP-SD), we fully quantitatively characterize the polarization states of arbitrary (DOP-SD>0.96) axisymmetrically-polarized femtosecond pulses generated by coherent beam combining.
