Abstract:In this paper, it is proposed to use Brewster angle refraction on a conical surface to form an azimuthally polarized beam. After reflection from the conical interface of the two media, the azimuthally polarized beam is conically divergent. An azimuthally polarized beam has a vortical phase dependence. In order to collimate the output beam and make it plane-parallel, it is proposed to use one, two or three conical surfaces combined in one element. The outer surface is used to collimate the converted beam, which… Show more
