Formation of hybrid higher-order cylindrical vector beams using binary multi-sector phase plates

Abstract Nowadays, the well-known cylindrical vector beams (CVBs) – the axially symmetric beam solution to the full-vector electromagnetic wave equation – are widely used for advanced laser material processing, optical manipulation and communication and have a great interest for data storage. Higher...
