Photonics, 2022 In this paper, using the Richards–Wolf equations, the focusing of circularly polarized light with flat diffractive lenses is considered. It is shown that, as the numerical aperture (NA) of the lens increases, the size of the focal spot first decreases ...

Experimental investigation of the energy backflow in the tight focal spot
Компьютерная оптика, 2020 Using two identical microobjectives with a numerical aperture NA = 0.95, we experimentally demonstrate that the on-axis intensity near the tight focal spot of an optical vortex with a topological charge 2 is zero for right-handed circular polarization ...

Vector Beams with Only Transverse Intensity at Focus
Applied Sciences, 2023 In this work, the tight focusing of vector beams with azimuthal polarization and beams with a V-line of polarization singularity (sector azimuthal polarization) was simulated numerically using the Richards–Wolf formulas.

Band-specific phase engineering for curving and focusing light in waveguide arrays [PDF]
, 2012 Band specific design of curved light caustics and focusing in optical waveguide arrays is introduced. Going beyond the discrete, tight-binding model, which we examined recently, we show how the exact band structure and the associated diffraction ...

Minimal focal spot obtained by focusing circularly polarized light
Компьютерная оптика, 2023 In this paper, using the Richards-Wolf equations, we analyze focusing circularly polarized light with flat diffractive lenses. It is shown that as the numerical aperture of the lens increases, the size of the focal spot first decreases and then begins to

Optimized Computation of Tight Focusing of Short Pulses Using Mapping to Periodic Space
Applied Sciences, 2021 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.

Multi-twist polarization ribbon topologies in highly-confined optical fields
New Journal of Physics, 2019 Electromagnetic plane waves, solutions to Maxwell’s equations, are said to be ‘transverse’ in vacuum. Namely, the waves’ oscillatory electric and magnetic fields are confined within a plane transverse to the waves’ propagation direction.

The Non-Vortex Inverse Propagation of Energy in a Tightly Focused High-Order Cylindrical Vector Beam
IEEE Photonics Journal, 2019 In this paper, the tight focusing of high-order cylindrical vector beams (beams with polarization singularity) was investigated. Using the Richards–Wolf formalism, there were obtained expressions for all projections of the electric and magnetic ...

An orbital energy flow and a spin flow at the tight focus
Компьютерная оптика, 2021 We have shown that a reverse energy flow (negative projection of the Poynting vector onto the optical axis) at the sharp focus of an optical vortex with topological charge 2 and left-hand circular polarization arises because the axial spin flow has a ...

Generation and tight focusing of hybridly polarized vector beams
Optics Express, 2010 We propose and experimentally demonstrate the generation of hybridly polarized beams by transmitting radially polarized light through a wave plate. We show that such beams span a closed circle on the surface of the Poincaré sphere whose center coincides with the center of the sphere.
