Subwavelength Gratings for Generating Azimuthally Polarized Beams
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

Waveguide properties of single subwavelength holes demonstrated with radially and azimuthally polarized light
We investigate the transmission of focused beams through single subwavelength holes in a silver film. We use radially and azimuthally polarized light, respectively, to excite higher order waveguide modes as well as to match the radial symmetry of the aperture geometry. Remarkably, the transmission properties can be described by a classical waveguide model even for thicknesses of the silver film...
متن کاملVortex beams with strong longitudinally polarized magnetic field and their generation by using metasurfaces
A novel method of generation and synthesis of azimuthally E-polarized vortex beams is presented. Along the beam axis such beams have a strong longitudinally polarized magnetic field where ideally there is no electric field. We show how these beams can be constructed through the interference of Laguerre–Gaussian beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM), and then quantify the longitudinal ma...
متن کاملOne of the most interesting typ
Recent years have witnessed a growing interest, theoretically as well as experimentally, in space-variant polarization manipulation for obtaining vectorial beams. In general, vectorial beams are defined as beams having space-variant (transversely nonuniform) polarization state. In this lecture we present new methods for designing, realizing and analyzing nonuniformly polarized and partial polar...
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 کاملGeneration of a radially polarized light beam using space-variant subwavelength gratings at 1064 nm.
The generation of radially polarized beams at a wavelength of 1064 nm by the use of a polarization transformer device consisting of space-variant subwavelength gratings (SGs) is demonstrated experimentally. The SG generates a pi phase retardation between the TE and TM polarizations, acting as a half-wave plate, reflecting the polarization vector with respect to the axes of the plate. The polari...
