Generation of cylindrical vector beams based on metasurface
Acta Physica Sinica, 2014 A method of generating cylindrical vector beams based on metasurface is presented in this paper. The metasurface is a fused silica with a space-variant non-periodic grating which is written by laser. The non-periodic grating induces a space-variant effective birefringence that modulates the space distribution of polarization state.

Generation of hallow vector beam by high-order cylindrical vector beams
We propose a method for generating hollow beams using higher-order cylindrical vector modes of the form R-TEMpl, where the radial index p is varied from 1 to 3 while the azimuthal index is fixed at l = 1. It is found that this scheme performs identically under incident illumination with either radial or azimuthal polarization.

Superoscillation focusing of high-order cylindrical-vector beams
Optics ExpressTraditional superoscillation focusing (SOF) typically requires complex optimization of the incident light field. These complexities may limit the practical application of superoscillation. High-order radially polarized Laguerre-Gaussian beams inherently support SOF due to their multi-ring amplitude distribution and 0-π phase alternation, which align ...
