The authors thank J. Serna for his valuable suggestions in the course of reading the manuscript. A procedure for global beam shaping by modifying some global spatial parameters characteristic of the beam is proposed. This method is based on the generation of a nonuniformly polarized beam using a Mach-Zehnder system with two suitably shaped intensity transmittances and orthogonal linear polarizers. The changes in beam quality and kurtosis parameters after a linear polarizer placed at the output of the system are investigated. 2023-06-20T10:38:36Z 2023-06-20T10:38:36Z 2006-12-10 journal article 0003-6935 10.1364/AO.45.008902 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/50873 http://dx.doi.org/10.1364/AO.45.008902 http://www.sciencedirect.com http://www.opticsinfobase.org/ eng FIS2004-1900 open access The Optical Society of America
