Abstract

Radial polarization (RP) and azimuthal polarization (AP) components in vector vortex beams own orthogonal polarization directions and are different in many functions. Thus, the splitting of AP and RP is required in detailed applications. This work presents to split a vector vortex beam into AP and RP by using a highly commercial S-waveplate. This approach is simple and the light losses are low. The configurations and principle of this approach are elaborated.
