Inverse Energy Flux in Tight Focusing of Vector Vortex Beam
In this paper, we focus on the study of the negative energy flow in the tight focusing of a radially polarized vortex beam. We know that, because of the coupling of the polarization state and the vortex charge, the on-axis energy flow in the focal region

Propagation equation for tight-focusing by a parabolic mirror
Part of the chain in petawatt laser systems may involve extreme focusing conditions for which nonparaxial and vectorial effects have high impact on the propagation of radiation. We investigate the possibility of using propagation equations to simulate numerically the focal spot under these conditions. We derive a unidirectional propagation equation for

Optimized Computation of Tight Focusing of Short Pulses Using Mapping to Periodic Space
When a pulsed, few-cycle electromagnetic wave is focused by optics with f-number smaller than two, the frequency components it contains are focused to different regions of space, building up a complex electromagnetic field structure.

Absorption-limited and phase-matched high harmonic generation in the tight focusing regime [PDF]
High harmonic generation (HHG) at a high repetition rate requires tight focusing of the moderate peak power driving pulses. So far the conversion efficiencies that have been achieved in this regime are orders of magnitude behind the values that have been

Modeling the tight focusing of beams in absorbing media with Monte Carlo simulations
A severe drawback to the scalar Monte Carlo (MC) method is the difficulty of introducing diffraction when simulating light propagation. This hinders, for instance, the accurate modeling of beams focused through microscope objectives, where the diffraction patterns in the focal plane are of great importance in various applications.

A minimal subwavelength focal spot for the energy flux
It is shown theoretically and numerically that circularly and linearly polarized incident beams produce at the tight focus identical circularly symmetric distributions of an on-axis energy flux.

Comparison of focusing of short pulses in the Debye approximation [PDF]
We have examined different types of pulses and features of their frequency spectra. Calculations have shown that a significant distinction between the pulses only takes place at a very short pulse duration (shorter than the oscillation period).

Tailoring of Inverse Energy Flow Profiles with Vector Lissajous Beams
In recent years, structured laser beams for shaping inverse energy flow regions: regions with a direction of energy flow opposite to the propagation direction of a laser beam, have been actively studied.
