The application relates to a method and device for generating an optical element of a
circular polarization detector and the optical element, and the method comprises the following steps: adjusting reference light into first
circular polarization light, adjusting
signal light into first polarization state light, and constructing a first
exposure polarization holographic interference field; generating a first intensity
signal pattern in a polarization
holographic recording sheet through the first
exposure polarization holographic interference field; adjusting the reference light into second
circular polarization light, adjusting the
signal light into second polarization state light, and constructing a second
exposure polarization holographic interference field; generating a second intensity signal pattern in the polarization
holographic recording sheet through the second exposure interference field, generating a polarization
multiplexing interference field at a preset position of the polarization
holographic recording sheet, and preparing a holographic element. The optical element required by the circular polarization
detector is prepared within several seconds, the polarization holographic recording sheet can adopt common holographic materials with polarization sensitivity, and the manufacturing cost is greatly reduced.
