| description | In view of wide applications of vector light with a non-uniform polarization state, a compound vector light generator is proposed to generate compound vector light. One compound vector light contains two or more non-uniform polarization modes and several annular intensities, which can carry more polarization information and possess higher dimensional singularity. The proposed compound vector light generator consists of cross nanoholes with high polarization conversion efficiency; it works under linear polarized light, and the mode of the generated compound vector light can be adjusted through rotating cross nanoholes. The structure parameters of the compound vector light generator are optimized with the aid of numerical simulation, and the simulation results for the generated light fields verify the performance of the proposed device. The advancement of the compound vector light and metasurface design of the compound vector light generator can assist in the exploration of novel singular properties of light fields and the broadening of applications of vector light fields. |
