Recent advancements in vectorial optics have enabled unprecedented control over the polarization and phase of light. Researchers from the University of Exeter have developed a new lens which allows for manipulation of the polarization and phase of light without introducing aberrations. This new lens has the potential to revolutionize optical systems, providing more efficient and accurate results. The researchers have shown that the lens can be used to separate light into different polarization states, an effect which has been impossible until now. This could enable new devices which take advantage of different polarization states for a variety of applications.
