Flat optics has emerged as a key player in the area of structured light and its applications,
owing to its subwavelength resolution, ease of integration, and compact footprint. Although …

Polarization, the path traced by light's electric field vector, appears in all areas of optics. In
recent decades, various technologies have enabled the precise control of light's polarization …

Injection molding (IM) is the most efficient mass production technology for manufacturing
polymers in complex and detailed geometries with high precision. Although, with the …

Metasurfaces—subwavelength arrays of phase-shifting elements—present new possibilities
for polarization optics and polarimetry. In particular, a periodic, polarization-sensitive …

The Mueller matrix is a mathematical description of how light is altered by an optical element
or a sample under study. It describes both intensity (irradiance) and polarization changes …

In this Letter, we investigate a new class of polarization wave front transformations which
exhibit nonconventional far field interference behavior. We show that these can be realized …

Advances in vectorial polarization-resolved imaging are bringing new capabilities to
applications ranging from fundamental physics through to clinical diagnosis. Imaging …

Nonparaxial propagation of the vector vortex light beams in free space was investigated
theoretically. Propagation-induced polarization changes in vector light beams with different …

to recover the complex polarimetric properties of a specimen at high resolution and over a …

As a classical or quantum system undergoes a cyclic evolution governed by slow change in
its parameter space, it acquires a topological phase factor known as the geometric or Berry …
