Nonlinear frequency conversion processes depend on the polarization state of interacting beams. On the other hand, vector-vortex beams have space-variant polarization in beam transverse plane. In light of these two points, it is challenging to do nonlinear frequency conversion of vector vortex beam in single-pass geometry and retain the polarization characteristics of the beam. Here, we report an experimental scheme for single-pass second harmonic generation (SHG) of vector-vortex beams. Using two contiguous bismuth borate crystals with optic axis orthogonal to each other, we have frequency-doubled the near-IR vector-vortex beam into visible vector-vortex beams with order as high as lsh=24.
