摘要
In this work, we perform an in-depth theoretical study on the Spin/Orbital Angular Momentum conversion at the nanoscale when a radially polarized vortex beam is ideally focused by a so called-hyperlens, which can support the propagation of the evanescent wave can break the diffraction limit. Radially polarized optical vortex beam was used as an input and from the output side, a beam with circular polarization was observed from the hyperlens, which enabled a unique Spin/Orbital Angular Momentum conversion at the extremely tight focal spot of the hyperlens.
