An overview of the recent developments in the field of cylindrical vector beams is provided.
As one class of spatially variant polarization, cylindrical vector beams are the axially …

This review encompasses ultrafast laser interaction with matter in a broad range of
intensities~ 10 10–10 15 W/cm 2. We consider the material transformation processes …

We report a focus sha** technique using generalized cylindrical vector beams. A
generalized cylindrical vector beam can be decomposed into radially polarized and …

Generation of vectorial optical fields with complex spatial distribution in the cross section is
of great interest in areas where exotic optical fields are desired, including particle …

We present an idea to generate an arbitrary space-variant vector beam with structured
polarization and phase distributions. The vector beams are synthesized from the left-and …

We propose a novel method to efficiently produce light beams with radial, azimuthal, and
hybrid polarization, through a few-mode fiber excited by a Laguerre–Gaussian beam. With …

Conventionally, the spatially structured light beams produced by metasurfaces primarily
highlight the polarization modulation of the beams propagating along the optical axis or the …

We fabricate mode converters by directly writing long-period gratings in a two-mode fiber
with a CO 2 laser. These mode converters allow the fundamental LP 01 mode to be …

Higher-order polarization singularities embedded in tailored vector beams are introduced
and experimentally realized. As holographic modulation allows to define order and location …

A laser beam with circular polarization can be converted into either radial or azimuthal
polarization by a microfabricated spiral phase plate and a radial (or azimuthal)-type linear …
