Generating Radially and Azimuthally Polarized Beams by Using a Pair of Lateral Displacement Beamsplitters

This paper proposes a modified polarization converter for generating radially and azimuthally polarized beams. Based on a Mach–Zehnder-like interferometric structure, the device consists of a pair of lateral displacement beamsplitters (LDBs) and two half-wave plates that manipulate the states of pol...
