(a) Numerical intensity represented on a HOPS for the LG2,1 mode. Horizontal and vertical bases, H1 = ψ1(π/2, 0) and V1 = ψ1(π/2, π), are the radial polarized state and azimuthal polarized state. The bottom figures show the numerical transmitted intensities from a vertical linear polarizer. The poles represent orthogonal left-handed and right-handed circularly polarized bases. (b) Numerical intensity and polarization distribution represented on a HOPS for the LG2,7 mode. There are seven nodal lines on the transmitted intensities from a vertical linear polarizer. (c) First row: Numerical intensity and polarization distribution of the superposed LG mode LG(2, 1, 0, 6, 1) in terms of H1 + H7 and V1 + V7 states. Second row: Numerical transmitted intensities from a vertical linear polarizer.
