Effect of Twisting Phases on Linear–Circular Polarization and Spin–Orbital Angular Momentum Conversions in Tightly Focused Vector and Scalar Beams

We theoretically investigated the effect of a new type of twisting phase on the polarization dynamics and spin–orbital angular momentum conversion of tightly focused scalar and vector beams. It was found that the existence of twisting phases gives rise to the conversion between the linear and circul...
