High-Order Cylindrical Vector Beam Generation and Its Polarization Detection Based on Cascade Vortex Half-Wave Plates
The vortex half-wave plate (VHP) is a polarized optical element whose fast axis orientation changes in a specific angular direction in the spatial distribution. By cascading two or more low-order VHPs, any high-order cylindrical vector beam (CVB) can be generated. Based on the Jones matrix of a single VHP, the equivalent Jones matrix of the VHP cascaded is derived, and the change of the equivalent order after the VHP cascaded is theoretically explained. In the experiment, the two VHPs of
