Generation of a vector light field based on polarization holography

We propose a simple and effective method for generating a vector light field based on the faithful reconstruction (FR) effect of polarization holography, where the arbitrary linear polarization waves can be faithfully reconstructed by the polarization-sensitive recording media. The scheme incorporates the tunable and switchable dynamics exposure system to manufacture vector beams. By regulating the velocity and the initial polarization through the angle-aperture and the half-wave plate in the dynamics exposure system, the generated optical element can convert a linear polarization wave into a vector beam. We have analyzed the feasibility in theory and demonstrated the generation of the vector beams experimentally which shows good agreement with the theoretical simulations.
