This field distribution determines the propagation behavior of the beam, and its angular momentum. The ability to generate an arbitrary complex scalar optical wavefront accurately is essential in modern optical applications. Although the ability to generate scalar beams is useful, in an increasing number of cases it is desirable to create arbitrary vectorial beams. ...
