We report a linearly polarized ytterbium-doped fiber (YDF) laser cavity configured by integrating an antiresonant hollow-core fiber-based inline polarizer. The 5-cm-long compact fiber polarizer was fusion spliced to a commercial large-mode-area, polarization-maintaining YDF. Near-diffraction-limited...
