Title: Propagation-invariant vectorial Bessel beams obtained by use of quantized Pancharatnam-Berry phase optical elements. Author: Niv A, Biener G, Kleiner V, Hasman E. Journal: Opt Lett; 2004 Feb 01; 29(3):238-40. PubMed ID: 14759037. Abstract: Propagation-invariant vectorial Bessel beams with linearly polarized axial symmetry based on quantized Pancharatnam-Berry phase optical elements are described. The geometric phase is formed through the use of discrete computer-generated space-variant subwavelength dielectric gratings. We have verified the polarization properties of our elements for laser radiation at 10.6-microm wavelength and also demonstrated propagation-invariant, controlled rotation of a propeller-shaped intensity pattern through the simple rotation of a polarizer.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
