We consider the basic properties and features of beams with a defined type of polarization symmetry, in particular beams formed by Laguerre-Gauss modes of the second-order. On the whole the polarization structure of such beams does not have a certain polarization state. We have shown the approach to such beams' formation with the use of cube-corner reflectors, with the faces having a special dielectric interference coating.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
