摘要
作为光的一个基本属性,偏振态提供的自由度对光场调控具有重要作用。具有空间结构偏振态分布的矢量光场因其具有不同于传统标量光场的独特性质而被应用于诸多领域,但矢量光场的早期研究主要集中于柱对称的局域线偏振矢量光场。近年来,偏振态分布更加丰富的新型矢量光场逐渐得到关注,这些新型矢量光场的出现丰富了矢量光场的种类并提供了新的调控自由度,被应用于焦场调控、光学微加工、光学微操纵和光信息传输等领域。综述了近年来出现的新型矢量光场,包括柱坐标系中的杂化偏振矢量光场、庞加莱球相关的矢量光场、阵列矢量光场、多奇点矢量光场和其他非柱对称的矢量光场,介绍了其进展、设计方案、实验生成、性质和相关应用。
Abstract
Polarization, as an intrinsic nature of light, is certainly of great importance to serve as a degree of freedom for manipulating light. The vector optical fields with inhomogeneous polarization distribution have been applied in many areas due to the unique feature with respect to the traditional scalar optical fields. However, the early study of vector optical fields mainly focused on the local linearly polarized vector optical fields with cylindrical symmetry. In recent years, novel vector optical fields with various polarization distributions have attracted significant interest. These new vector optical fields have not only enriched the family of the vector optical fields, but also provided new degrees of manipulation freedom. As a result, these new vector optical fields have been applied in realms such as manipulation of focal fields, optical micro-machining, optical micro-manipulation, and optical information transmission. In this paper, we present an overview of the recently appearing new kinds of vector optical fields, including hybridly polarized vector optical fields in cylindrical coordinates, vector optical fields associated with Poincare sphere, array vector optical fields, vector optical fields with multiple polarization singularities, and other vector optical fields without cylindrical symmetry. The advances, design scheme, experimental generation, properties and related applications of these vector optical fields have been presented.
