Abstract :
Quantized Pancharatnam-Berry phase diffractive optics using computer-generated space-variant subwavelength dielectric grating is presented. We experimentally demonstrated a quantized blazed polarization diffraction grating, as well as polarization-dependent focusing lens for infrared radiation.
