Focusing fractional-order cylindrical vector beams
By numerically simulating the sharp focusing of fractional-order vector beams (0≤m≤1, with azimuthal polarization at m=1 and linear polarization at m=0), it is shown that the shape of the intensity distribution in the focal spot changes from elliptical ...

Optical trapping and optical binding using cylindrical vector beams
We report on the use of cylindrical vector beams for optical manipulation of micron and sub-micron sized particles using the methods of a single-beam gradient force trap (optical tweezers) and an evanescent-field surface trap (optical binding).

Focus shaping using cylindrical vector beams
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 ...

Sagnac Interferometer Based Generation of Controllable Cylindrical Vector Beams [PDF]
We report on a novel experimental geometry to generate cylindrical vector beams in a very robust manner. Continuous control of beams’ properties is obtained using an optically addressable spatial light modulator incorporated into a Sagnac interferometer.

Structured beam-driven multipolar mode control in nanoparticles [PDF]
Due to their unique tight focusing properties, structured light beams, such as cylindrical vector beams, offer unique opportunities for tailoring light–matter interaction at the nanoscale.

Polar POLICRYPS diffractive structures generate cylindrical vector beams [PDF]
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).

Focusing of high numerical aperture cylindrical-vector beams
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.

Monolayer Chiral Metasurface for Generation of Arbitrary Cylindrical Vector Beams
The cylindrical vector beam (CVB) has been widely studied and applied in recent years. However, many CVB generation methods suffer from complex systems, and large-size devices are required. Here, we propose a monolayer chiral metasurface composed of spin-
