Focus shaping using cylindrical vector beams
Optics Express, 2002 We report a focus shaping technique using generalized cylindrical vector beams. A generalized cylindrical vector beam can be decomposed into radially polarized and azimuthally polarized components. Such a generalized cylindrical beam can be generated from a radially polarized or an azimuthally polarized light using a two-half-wave-plate polarization ...

Focusing of high numerical aperture cylindrical-vector beams
Optics Express, 2000 Cylindrical-vector beams are of increasing recent interest for their role in novel laser resonators and their applications to electron acceleration and scanning microscopy. In this paper, we calculate cylindrical-vector fields, near the focal region of an aplanatic lens, and briefly discuss some applications.

Cylindrical vector beams for rapid polarization-dependent measurements in atomic systems
Optics Express, 2011 We demonstrate the use of cylindrical vector beams - beams with spatially varying polarization - for detecting and preparing the spin of a warm rubidium vapor in a spatially dependent manner.

An interference scheme for generating inhomogeneously polarized laser radiation using a spatial light modulator [PDF]
Компьютерная оптика, 2020 An optical system for converting linearly polarized laser beams into cylindrical vector beams is developed and experimentally investigated. The scheme is based on the coherent addition of mode beams using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The simplicity and

Singularities in cylindrical vector beams [PDF]
Journal of Modern Optics, 2015 Cylindrical vector beams with azimuthal and radial polarization distributions are studied for singularities. It is shown experimentally that these beams have screw dislocation as well as edge dislocation at the same time. The relation between phase and polarization of light beam is the key to understand this fact.

Polar POLICRYPS diffractive structures generate cylindrical vector beams [PDF]
Applied Physics Letters, 2015 Local shaping of the polarization state of a light beam is appealing for a number of applications. This can be achieved by employing devices containing birefringent materials. In this article, we present one such enables converting a uniformly circularly polarized beam into a cylindrical vector beam (CVB).
