The fibersare arranged uniformly on the perimeter of a circle, and the linearlypolarized beams of equal shape are superimposed such that the far fieldpattern represents an effective radially polarized vector beam, or discretecylindrical vector (DCV) beam. The DCV beam is produced by three ormore beams that each individually have a varying polarization vector. Thebeams are appropriately distributed in the near field such that the far fieldintensity distribution has a central null. This result is in contrast to the situationof parallel linearly polarized beams, where the intensity peaks on axis.
