Abstract

Vector vortex beams are widely used because of their anisotropic vortex polarization state and spiral phase. Constructing mixed mode vector vortex beams in free space still requires complex designs and calculations. We propose a method for generating mixed mode vector Elliptical perfect optical vortex (EPOV) arrays in free space by mode extraction and optical pen. It is demonstrated that the long axis and short axis of EPOVs are not limited by the topological charge (TC). Flexible modulation of parameters in the array is achieved, including number, position, ellipticity, ring size, TC, and polarization mode. This approach is simple and effective, it will provide a powerful optical tool for optical tweezers, particle manipulation, and optical communication.
