Query: DMD-based generation of vector beams through a common-path
  interferometer   Complex vector modes of light, non-separable in their spatial and
polarisation degrees of freedom, are revolutionising a wide variety of research
fields. It is therefore not surprising that the generation techniques have
evolved quite dramatically since their inception. At present it is common to
use computer-controlled devices, among which digital micromirror devices have
become popular. Some of the reason for this are their low-cost, their
polarisation-insensitive and their high-refresh rates. As such, in this
manuscript we put forward a novel technique characterised by its high
stability, which is achieved through a common-path interferometer. We
demonstrate the capabilities of this technique experimentally, first by
generating arbitrary vector modes on a higher-order Poincar\'e sphere,
secondly, by generating vector modes in different coordinates systems and
finally, by generating various vector modes simultaneously. Our technique will
find applications in fields such as optical manipulations, optical
communications, optical metrology, among others.
