Can we make a circular polarization laser directly?

[QUOTE="blue_leaf77, post: 5487540, member: 536596"] Theoretically you can if you also provide pump light source with circular polarization. But in practice, it may not be that easily realizable. A first obstacle I can identify is the induced birefringence in the gain medium when its temperature starts increasing. Even if the pump source is circularly polarized (or any polarization), the output does not exactly have the same polarization state as the pump due to the modification inside the gain medium itself.
