Measuring of Transverse Energy Flows in a Focus of an Aluminum Lens
In this study, we theoretically and experimentally investigate the propagation of a second-order cylindrical vector beam through an aluminum lens which forms a tight focus at the distance of the wavelength. Simulation by the finite-difference time-domain

Polarization Strips in the Focus of a Generalized Poincaré Beam
We analyze the tight focusing of a generalized Poincaré beam using a Richards–Wolf formalism. Conventional Poincaré beams are superpositions of two Laguerre–Gaussian beams with orthogonal polarization, while the generalized Poincaré beams are composed of

Energy backflow in a focal spot of the cylindrical vector beam [PDF]
Using Richards-Wolf formulae it is shown that a tightly focused azimuthally-radially polarized m-th order laser beam with an arbitrary apodization function produces a reverse energy flow in the focal plane (m=2).

Vortex energy flow in the tight focus of a non-vortex field with circular polarization [PDF]
Using Richards-Wolf formulas, we show that an axisymmetric circularly polarized vortex-free field can be focused into a sharp subwavelength focal spot, around which there is a region where the light energy flow propagates along a spiral. This effect can

Longitudinal component of the Poynting vector of a tightly focused optical vortex with circular polarization [PDF]
We numerically investigated the focusing of optical vortices with the wavelength λ = 532 nm and right-hand circular polarization by using a diffractive lens with the numerical aperture NA = 0.95.

The near-axis backflow of energy in a tightly focused optical vortex with circular polarization [PDF]
Using the Richards-Wolf formulae for a diffractive lens, we show that in the focal plane of a sharply focused left-hand circularly polarized optical vortex with the topological charge 2 there is an on-axis backflow of energy (as testified by the negative

Formation of an elongated region of energy backflow using ring apertures [PDF]
In this paper, we have investigated the focusing of a second-order cylindrical vector beam by using a high numerical aperture (NA) lens limited by a ring aperture using the Richards-Wolf formulae.

Toroidal polarization vortices in tightly focused beams with singularity
In this paper, we numerically investigated tight focusing of cylindrical vector beams of the sec-ond order using Richards-Wolf formulae. It was shown that intensity rings where the Poynting vector was equal to zero appeared not only in the focal plane ...
