Optical element converting linear polarization into circular-tangential polarization

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A new optical element capable of converting linear polarization into circular-tangential polarization (i.e., the electric vector is along the tangential direction to a circle) is proposed and demonstrated. The conversion characteristics of the fabricated element are evaluated, and the magnitude of aberration produced by the element is shown to be insignificant.
