Abstract

We present the design of an axially symmetric retarder capable of converting a homogeneously polarized incident beam into a beam with a heterogeneous polarization state via radial retardance modulation. The retarder is a quasi-achromatic, passive optical element, designed to be made out of an isotropic material, which may be used to generate cylindrical vector beams with heterogeneous polarization states varying in the radial and azimuthal directions. The design of the retarder takes into account geometrical and physical optics considerations, which allowed us to develop a computer model that we used to assess its performance. We will present an analysis of the expected performance of the retarder and discuss its capabilities, limitations, and potential applications in polarimetry.
