A step phase introduced by a spatial light modulator（SLM） first makes the incident laser beam have a nodal cycle. This phase is dynamic in nature because it depends on the optical length. Then a Pancharatnam–Berry phase（PBP） optical element is used to manipulate the local polarization of the optical field by modulating the geometric phase.

It provides much greater flexibility to manipulate the phase and polarization by simultaneously modulating the dynamic and the geometric phases.展开更多

文摘We propose a method for generating double-ring-shaped vector beams. A step phase introduced by a spatial light modulator（SLM） first makes the incident laser beam have a nodal cycle. This phase is dynamic in nature because it depends on the optical length. Then a Pancharatnam–Berry phase（PBP） optical element is used to manipulate the local polarization of the optical field by modulating the geometric phase. The experimental results show that this scheme can effectively create double-ring-shaped vector beams. It provides much greater flexibility to manipulate the phase and polarization by simultaneously modulating the dynamic and the geometric phases.
