Geometric phase optical elements based on structured anisotropy are widely used for phase shaping via their orienta-tional degree of freedom. To date, amplitude shaping via space-variant retardance is much less investigated, a practical reason being that the spin-orbit interaction of light couples retardance with the dynamic part of the optical phase. Inspired by the complementary diffractive elements associated with Babinet's principle, a bilayered subwavelength grating design is proposed in order to cancel out the spatial modulation of the dynamic phase usually associated with space-variant birefringent phase retardation. This concept is illustrated in the framework of single-mode Laguerre Gauss –beam shaping.< Leer menos
