Abstract
A vectorial optical field generator includes a radiation source a modulator surface, a first quarter wave plate, a second quarter wave plate, and an output plane. The radiation source emits an input radiation along a path and the modulator surface is positioned along the path and configured to modulate a phase, an amplitude, a polarization ratio, and a retardation of the input radiation along a fourth area of the modulator surface. The output plane is positioned along the path and receives output radiation resulting from modulating the input radiation with the modulator surface, the first quarter wave plate, and the second quarter wave plate.
