Novel hybrid-polarized vector beams with radial and azimuthal polarization states in arbitrary fan-sectors are generated and studied for manipulating surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs). The method has high energy conversion efficiency based on an interferometric arrangement with a Dammann vortex phas...
