Abstract
Integrated cylindrical vector vortex (CVV) emitters have been introduced and studied for their potential applications in classical optics and quantum optics technologies. In this work, we demonstrate that the emission angle of integrated CVV emitters can be engineered by taking advantage of the geometrical phase of a microring resonator. Two methods to superimpose an arbitrary phase profile on top of the integrated emitters are presented and compared. Angled emission of integrated vector vortex beams enables the use of chip-scale emitters for integrated nonlinear optics and for beam steering applications with orbital angular momentum.
