Popis: The rich optical properties of transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers (TMD-MLs) render these materials promising candidates for the design of new optoelectronic devices. Despite the large number of excitonic complexes in TMD-MLs, the main focus has been put on optically bright neutral excitons. Spin-forbidden dark excitonic complexes have been addressed for basic science purposes, but not for applications. We report on spin-forbidden dark excitonic complexes in ML WSe$_2$ as an ideal system for the facile generation of radially polarized light beams. Furthermore, the spatially resolved polarization of photoluminescence beams can be exploited for basic research on excitons in two-dimensional materials.
