q-plate with q = 1/2

Summary edit

Description
English: Schematic depiction of a q-plate with q = 1/2 that can be used to transform a circularly-polarized Gaussian light beam into a beam with helical wavefronts with a unit pitch. For details see: [Marrucci et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 163905, DOI:10.1103/PhysRevLett.96.163905].
Čeština: Schematické vyobrazení q-destičky s q = 1/2, jíž lze užít pro transformaci kruhově polarizovaného Gaussovského svazku světla na svazek se šroubovicovitými vlnoplochami s jednotkovým stoupáním. Pro bližší informace viz: [Marrucci et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 163905, DOI:10.1103/PhysRevLett.96.163905].
