Polarization-dependent diffraction based on Pancharatnam-Berry phase optical elements (PBOEs) offers considerable benefits compared to conventional metasurfaces, such as negligible absorption, nearly 100% diffraction efficiency and an inexpensive fabrication process. Polarization holography is a simple way to fabricate PBOEs, which entails the interference of beams with different polarizations to generate a spatial-varying polarization field. Thus, the quality of recorded PBOEs manifests high sensitivity to the length change and phase shift between polarized beams, usually caused by environmental vibration and air flow. Here, new polarization holography based on modified Sagnac interferometry is developed for fabricating liquid crystal-based PB gratings and lenses, where the pitch of grating and optical power of lens could be easily tuned. This approach offers high tolerance to environmental disturbance during the exposure process. Detailed design parameters are analyzed, and the fabricated PBOEs with high optical quality are also demonstrated.
