Generation of unconventional polarization from light scattered by metallic cylinders under conical incidence

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A simple experimental method to generate unconventional polarized states from the conical scattering of light by thin metallic cylinders is presented. Results show that radial and azimuthal polarizations are easily obtained. This opens up the possibility for a broad range of applications, from surgery to industrial and even to remote sensing. To the best of our knowledge, this is the cheapest and easiest way to generate radial and azimuthal unconventional polarization states.
