Abstract:We consider a class of specular or anti-specular vector beams, by illuminating stochastic vector beams into a prism-based wavefront-folding interferometer. Such transform is applied to various genuine model input beams, and then the properties of the resulting fields are discussed. Numerical results show that the specular nature of these vector fields not only creates sharp internal intensities, but also produces novel polarization patterns with oscillations or a central dip on the DOP-profile. Such optical ch… Show more
