Abstract: A method includes receiving a light beam propagating along an optical path, converting, using a first diffractive element, a first portion of the light beam into a first circularly polarized beam, and a second portion of the light beam into a second circularly polarized beam. The method also includes converting, using a second diffractive element, the first circularly polarized beam into a first circularly polarized output beam, and the second circularly polarized beam into a second circularly polarized output beam.

Abstract: A method includes receiving a light beam propagating along an optical path and operating a polarization rotator in a first state to produce an input right-hand circularly polarized beam or in a second state to produce an input left-hand circularly polarized beam. The method also includes converting, using a first diffractive element, the input right-hand circularly polarized beam into an intermediate left-hand circularly polarized beam or converting, using the first diffractive element, the input left-hand circularly polarized beam into an intermediate right-hand circularly polarized beam. The method also includes converting, using a second diffractive element, the intermediate left-hand circularly polarized beam into a right-hand circularly polarized output beam or converting, using the second diffractive element, the intermediate right-hand circularly polarized beam into a left-hand circularly polarized output beam.
