Dynamic control of cylindrical vector beams via anisotropy
We demonstrate that the spatially diffractive properties of cylindrical vector beams could be controlled via linear interactions with anisotropic crystals. It is the first time to show experimentally that the diffraction of the vector beams can be either suppressed or enhanced significantly during propagation, depending on the sign of anisotropy ...

An interference scheme for generating inhomogeneously polarized laser radiation using a spatial light modulator [PDF]
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

Signal quality enhanced and multicast transmission via cylindrical vector beams with adaptive optics compensation in free space optical communications [PDF]
Signal quality is critical in free space optical (FSO) communications. Many technologies and methods are applied to enhance the signal quality of an optical communication system, which might require one of the methods employing structured light.
