From: Polarisation-insensitive generation of complex vector modes from a digital micromirror device

Representative examples of vector modes shown as points along the green-dashed and solid-yellow lines drawn on the HOPS, labelled as (a1–a5 and b1–b5), respectively. Their corresponting experimental intensity profiles, acquired by passing these through a linear polariser, are shown on the left panel, see also Visualisation 1 and Visualisation 2. Here, \(\hat{h}\), \(\hat{v}\), \(\hat{d}\), \(\hat{a}\), \(\hat{r}\) and \(\hat{l}\) represent the horizontal, vertical, diagonal, antidiagonal, right- and left-handed unitary polarisation vectors.
