Abstract

Diattenuation aberration is considered as an important element of polarization-related aberrations in various optical systems. It can disorder both the state of polarization and the intensity of a beam, and thus negatively impact the optical resolution and the correctness of the vectorial information of the optical system. Polarization adaptive optics (P-AO) has been proposed recently and serves as a novel tool to conduct polarization error corrections. However, previous cases typically focus on retardance-related aberrations, with little treatment of aberrations related to diattenuation. In this presentation, we harness the topological number of a skyrmionic beam as a criterion to discuss the boundary of the correction ability of P-AO method towards diattenuation aberration.
