Polarization singularities of focused, radially polarized fields.
The state of polarization of strongly focused, radially polarized electromagnetic fields is examined. It is found that several types of polarization singularities exist. Their relationship is investigated, and it is demonstrated that on smoothly varying a system parameter, such as the aperture angle of the lens, different polarization singularities can annihilate each other. For example, the ev...
متن کاملThe structure of focused, radially polarized fields.
We present a detailed analysis of the structure of strongly focused, radially polarized electromagnetic fields. The existence of phase singularities of the two components of the electric field is demonstrated. Two different mechanisms to obtain creation or annihilation of these phase singularities are discussed. These are changing the aperture angle of the lens and the width of the beam. Also, ...
متن کاملBeam width of highly-focused radially-polarized fields.
On the basis of a formal analogy with the irradiance moments, analytical definitions are proposed for the width of both the transverse and the longitudinal component of rotationally-symmetric radially-polarized fields at the focal plane of a high-focusing optical system. The beam width of the whole field is also introduced. The transverse beam size is thus associated with the overall spatial st...

متن کاملFields of a tightly focused radially polarized laser beam: the truncated series versus the complex-source-point spherical wave representation
In this paper, the fields of a radially polarized fundamental Gaussian beam are derived with a complex-source-point spherical wave approach and then compared and contrasted with those derived recently from a Lax series to the order of ε15, where ε is the diffraction angle. It is shown that the domain of validity of the derived fields is restricted by a discontinuity built into the vector potent...
