Complex beam shaping based on an equivalent q-plate system and analysis of its properties using digital holography polarization imaging
Abstract In this study, we generate various complex beams carrying angular momentum (AM) by using a programmable beam shaping system to mimic typical q-plates. When a circularly polarized wave is incident onto the system, the emerging beam reverses its spin handedness and obtains a spatial phase fac...
