Abstract

The conventional liquid crystal-based Pancharatnam-Berry (PB) phase lens exhibits distinct polarization selectivity, manifesting opposite optical power to circularly polarized light with opposite handedness. Here, a polarization-independent liquid crystal PB lens system is theoretically predicted and experimentally verified. Such a lens system consists of at least four PB lenses, with specific distances in between them. This enables the PB lens to be applied in polarization-independent optical systems.
