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 کاملThe structure of focused, radially polarized fields.
We present a detailed analysis of the structure of strongly focused, radially polarized electromagnetic fields. The existence of phase singularities of the two components of the electric field is demonstrated. Two different mechanisms to obtain creation or annihilation of these phase singularities are discussed. These are changing the aperture angle of the lens and the width of the beam. Also, ...
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 کاملManifestation of the Gouy phase in strongly focused, radially polarized beams.
The Gouy phase, sometimes called the focal phase anomaly, is the curious effect that in the vicinity of its focus a diffracted field, compared to a non-diffracted, converging spherical wave of the same frequency, undergoes a rapid phase change by an amount of π. We theoretically investigate the phase behavior and the polarization ellipse of a strongly focused, radially polarized beam. We find t...
