Abstract

In this paper, we demonstrate a compact flattop beam shaper to realize two-dimensional flattop focus through generating a second order full Poincaré beam. Liquid crystal material is used in the device as the voltage-dependent birefringent material to provide appropriate phase retardation modulation. The beam shaper is fabricated and tested. Experimental results show that high quality flattop profiles can be obtained with steep edge roll-off. The tolerance of different input beam sizes of the beam shaper is also verified in the experimental demonstration.
