A method to combine arbitrary order polarization vortex beams (PVBs) by Hermite–Gauss mode beams with designed field distributions is proposed. The orders of PVBs are determined by the modes of HG beams which are used in the combination scheme and the intensity distributions are the same as those of Laguerre–Gaussian beams. Simulations and experiments were also demonstrated, which verifies the feasibility of the proposed method.
