ABSTRACT:
An optical system for spatially controlling light polarization, and method for manufacturing the same, includes a light source for generating a light beam of a designated wavelength, a beam shaper for splitting the light beam generated from the light source into a plurality of partial beams, and a polarization controller controlling the polarization states of the partial beams. The polarization controller may be formed on the beam shaper or separate from the beam shaper.
