    Abstract: Method for fabrication of vector vortex waveplates of improved quality due to reduced singularity size and widened spectral band, the method comprising creating a boundary condition for vortex orientation pattern of a liquid crystal polymer on a substrate using materials with reversible photoalignment, equalizing exposure energy over the area of the waveplate by redistributing the energy of radiation used for photoalignment from the center of the beam to its peripheries, and using vector vortex waveplate as a linear-to-axial polarization converter. Fabrication of spectrally broadband vector vortex waveplates further comprises two or more liquid crystal polymer layers with opposite sign of twist.

    Abstract: Method for jamming or affecting the quality of photo and video recording, the method comprising illuminating the area, collecting light reflected or scattered from optical components such as camera lenses, amplifying them, and reversing the amplified beams back to the camera with phase conjugating mirror. The method may further comprise image acquisition and processing for identifying unwanted optical components and sensors, and electronically pointing and focusing a laser beam on said components and sensors.

    Abstract: Diffractive optical structures, lens, waveplates, systems and methods of combinations of CDWs (cycloidal diffractive waveplates) and PVGs (polarization volume gratings) that result in high efficiency polarization-insensitive diffraction. Although our modelling and experiments were performed for structures with optical axis orientation periodic along one of the Cartesian coordinates parallel to the plane of the structure, the results are applicable to more complex structures such as diffractive waveplate lenses. The focusing performance of such structures can be predicted by considering the structure to be locally periodic along one axis.
