Формирование световых полей со сложной поляризационной структурой с использованием астигматической дифракционной линзы

The new method for generation of fields with space-variant polarization on the basis of the interferential technique is presented in the paper. The technique is based on the astigmatic transformation of Hermite-Gaussian beams into complexly conjugated Laguerre-Gaussian beams by special diffractive element.
