Asymmetries Caused by Nonparaxiality and Spin–Orbit Interaction during Light Propagation in a Graded-Index Medium

Spin–orbit coupling and nonparaxiality effects during the propagation of vortex vector light beams in a cylindrical graded-index waveguide are investigated by solving the full three-component field Maxwell’s equations. Symmetry-breaking effects for left- and right-handed circularly polarized vortex...
