Development of a compact polarizing mode converter (PMC) and prototype equipment.

Development of evaluation PMC for commercialization and establishment of a small lot production line.

In the development of miniaturization and prototype equipment for the Polarization Mode Converter (PMC), there is growing interest in special polarized beams such as radial polarization and azimuthal polarization, which have distributions of polarization, phase, and intensity in the laser beam cross-section. These polarizations are gaining attention in optical measurement, particularly in the field of optical microscopy, with numerous applications proposed, including enhanced sensitivity for super-resolution and surface observation, as well as high-efficiency light trapping, leading to an increase in the number of published papers. Professor Keisuke Tomoki from Hyogo Prefectural University, who has a vision for new application devices, is developing the world's first three-dimensional stereoscopic orientation microscope that measures molecular orientation with three-dimensional resolution, and the liquid crystal optical element that made this possible is the PMC. The goal of the joint research between Hyogo Prefectural University’s optical system construction and control technology and Kenix Co., Ltd.’s device design and process development is to manufacture and sell a compact and simple PMC at a low cost.
