Abstract
Experimentally implemented method for generating radiation with controlled distribution of the polarization beam cross section . The method is based on the addition of the interference of three circularly polarized laser beams of varying intensity with unit topological charges. Generation method of inhomogeneously polarized radiation allows to control the distribution of polarization of the beam cross section. Basic advantage of this method is the ability to generate an axially asymmetric polarization distribution in the cross section of the beam.
