Planar bifocal lens based on the polarization hologram

Abstract

Based on polarization holography theory, the plane bifocal vector lens is studied. In previous studies, the bifocal vector lens were limited to cross-angle π/2 and bulk materials. However, when the two waves are orthogonal circularly polarized state, the plane bifocal vector lens can be realized, and the limitation of cross-angle π/2 and bulk materials can be broken. The lens produces corresponding focus output through the reading wave with different polarization states, which can be used for large-area optical element research.
