In particular, we develop a mathematical framework for such beams that helps the understanding of the performance of polarizers when interact with non-paraxial beams. The features of the focused field after the polarizer are numerically evaluated for some illustrative examples.4 p.application/pdfeng(c) Optical Society of America, 2018Polarització (Llum)RefraccióPolarization (Light)Refractioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6818632018-09-19info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess30004526
