Abstract

We generate programmable vector beams with arbitrary q-plates encoded using a spatial light modulator system. Consequently, we can analyze new and exotic q-plate designs without the difficulty of fabricating individual plates. We show experimental results for positive and negative integer and new fractional vector beam values.
