Abstract:
We introduce a new method to obtain the radially polarized light by use of a diffractive axicon and a Stoletov pile. It is shown that using the method proposed it is possible to form radially polarized light beams. A radially polarized light beam is implemented experimentally.

Key words:
radially polarized light, Stoletov pile, axicon.
