Radially and azimuthally polarized nonparaxial Bessel beams made simple.
We present a method for the realization of radially and azimuthally polarized nonparaxial Bessel beams in a rigorous but simple manner. This result is achieved by using the concept of Hertz vector potential to generate exact vector solutions of Maxwell's equations from scalar Bessel beams. The scalar part of the Hertz potential is built by analogy with the paraxial case as a linear combination ...
متن کاملGenerating Radially and Azimuthally Polarized Beams by Using a Pair of Lateral Displacement Beamsplitters
This paper proposes a modified polarization converter for generating radially and azimuthally polarized beams. Based on a Mach–Zehnder-like interferometric structure, the device consists of a pair of lateral displacement beamsplitters (LDBs) and two half-wave plates that manipulate the states of polarization of incident linearly polarized light. Through the coherent superposition of two orthogo...
متن کاملSubwavelength Gratings for Generating Azimuthally Polarized Beams
We have experimentally investigated two binary subwavelength grating-miсropolarizers that transform linearly polarized light to the azimuthally polarized beam. The first miсropolarizer operates in reflective mode (for wavelength 532 nm) and was manufactured in a gold film. The second micropolarizer operates in transmitting mode (for wavelength 633 nm) and was manufactured in silicon.
متن کاملNonparaxial shape-preserving Airy beams with Bessel signature.
Spatially accelerating beams that are solutions to Maxwell equations may propagate along incomplete circular trajectories. Taking these truncated Bessel fields to the paraxial limit, some authors have sustained that it has recovered the known Airy beams (AiBs). Based on the angular spectrum representation of optical fields, we demonstrated that the paraxial approximation rigorously leads to off...
متن کاملExperimental measurement of the “self-healing” of the spatially inhomogeneous states of polarization of radially and azimuthally polarized vector Bessel beams
We experimentally measured the “self-healing” of the spatially inhomogeneous states of polarization of radial and azimuthal polarized vector Bessel beams. Radial and azimuthal polarized vector Bessel beams were generated via a digital version of Durnin’s method, using a spatial light modulator in concert with a liquid crystal q-plate. As a proof of principle, their intensities and spatially inh...
