Axisymmetric Photonic Crystals
Polarization Converter
The SWP-1064 element converts the linearly polarized beam of a YAG laser (1064nm) into a radially or azimuthally polarized beam. It is composed of 12 1/2 wave plates, each with precisely aligned transmission axes.
Radially polarized or azimuthally polarized light can be produced using a single element by rotating the angle of the incident polarization.
