Optical computation of divergence operation for vector field
英文摘要：
Topological physics desires stable methods to measure the polarization singularities in optical vector fields. Here a periodic plasmonic metasurface is proposed to perform divergence computation of vectorial paraxial beams. We design such an optical device to compute spatial differentiation along two directions, parallel and perpendicular to the incident plane, simultaneously. The divergence operation is achieved by creating the constructive interference between two derivative results. We demonstrate that such optical computations provide a new direct pathway to elucidate specific polarization singularities of vector fields.
