a Arrangement of the 24 beams and their polarizations for case I from an upward perspective. b The sketch of polarization configuration of the beams in group 1 and group 2 for case I in the backscattering experiments. c Arrangement of the 24 beams and their polarizations for case II from an upward perspective. d The sketch of polarization configuration of the beams in group 1 and group 2 for case II in the backscattering experiments. The arrows indicate the direction of polarization projected onto the plane of laser entrance hole for each beam. The beam incident angles from outer to inner are 55∘ (blue), 49.5∘ (cyan), 35∘ (pink) and 28.5∘ (red).
