Stress birefringent, space-variant wave plates for vortex illumination

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We describe the use of stress birefringence in the creation of vortex illumination. A trifold symmetric stress pattern will provide an annular region that exhibits polarization vortices when illuminated with linearly polarized light and scalar vortices when illuminated with circularly polarized light. A finite element plane-stress model is used to analyze the space-variant anisotropy.
