Abstract

Polarization purity is an important indicator for both radial polarization (RP) and azimuthal polarization (AP) beams. This work presents a simple and compact approach to measure the RP/AP purity. It is implemented by using a polarization axis finder (PAF) and two half-wave plates. This measurement approach is easy to implement and all of the involved devices are commercialized.
