Abstract
A technique is developed for recording the centrally-symmetric liquid crystal phase plates with the anisotropic orientation of molecules providing a smooth change of the optical axis in a thin film of liquid crystal polymer. The technique enables one to record the elements with the cylindrically-symmetric and planar-symmetric distributions. Such structures can be used to develop the optical elements with the new functional possibilities. Using the developed techniques, the polarization-sensitive Fresnel lens is realized which is functioning either as a collecting or as a scattering lens for the light beams with the orthogonal circular polarizations.
