(color online) (a) Construction principle of 3D vector beams based on longitudinally variant phases. (b) Local polarization orientation in the cross-section versus propagating distance. (c) Intensity profile in the y–z plane of zeroth order vector Bessel beam. (d)–(h) Intensity distributions in the cross-section after a polarizer at different propagation distances shown in (c). The arrows in (c)–(h) denote the polarization orientation of the polarizer.^[115]
