Abstract

Simultaneous manipulation of light polarization and phase possesses great significance for modern optical technologies. Here we propose metal-dielectric gratings capable of tailoring the polarization and phase of light based on polarization filtering with the polarization extinction ratio exceeding 10dB and the transmittance higher than 65%. The standard radially polarized (RP) light with axially symmetric polarization distribution can be generated by using arrayed grating with gradient phase under the illumination of circularly polarized (CP) light. Besides, a RP metasurface lens with high numerical aperture is presented, which can convert the CP light into the focused radially polarized light at wavelength of 632.8nm. This compact and efficient approach would have potential applications in beam manipulation, super-resolution imaging and integrated optics system.
