Abstract

Optical components manipulating both polarization and phase of wave fields find a lot of applications in today’s optical systems. It is possible to fabricate optical elements with nanostructured surfaces for the generation of any orientation of locally linearly polarized light [1]. The wave front of a radial polarizer made from a subwavelength aluminium radial grating on a glass substrate for the wavelength λ=633nm was measured. This optical element generates an additional phase term together with the desired polarization distribution [2].
