To establish and validate an objective, quantitative quality metric for characterizing vector beams and differentiating them from scalar beams.
Adapted theoretical and mathematical toolkits from quantum mechanics to evaluate classical vector beam profiles.
Applied and demonstrated the measurement framework on cylindrical vector vortex beams.
Formulated a single normalized beam quality scale spanning from 0 (purely scalar) to 1 (purely vector).
Confirmed that quantum-derived measures can quantitatively evaluate classical vector states without relying on qualitative visual inspection using rotating polarizers.
