Generation and tight-focusing properties of cylindrical vector circular Airy beams

Tight-focusing properties of cylindrical vector circular Airy beams [i.e., azimuthally polarized (AP) circular Airy beam and radially polarized (RP) circular Airy beam] passing through a high numerical aperture thin lens are investigated in detail. It is found that a super long subwavelength dark channel with full width at half maximum about 0.49λ and depth of focus (DOF) about 52λ can be achieved near the focal region for the case of tight focusing of an AP circular Airy beam, and a super long needle with DOF about 27.5λ of strong longitudinally polarized field can be obtained near the focal region for the case of tight focusing of a RP circular Airy beam. Furthermore, we report experimental generation of an AP circular Airy. Our results will be useful for atom guiding and trapping, particle acceleration and fluorescent imaging.

We study the focusing properties of a double-ring-shaped azimuthally polarized beam through an annular high NA objective lens. It is shown that a subwavelength focal hole (～0.5λ) with a quite long depth of focus (～26λ) is achieved near the focus. This kind of nondiffracting focal hole is called dark channel, which may have applications in atom optical experiments, such as with atomic lenses, atom traps, and atom switches.

It is found that the size of coherence vortex dark core in the focal region depends on the topological charges and normalized coherence lengths. It is found that the desired vortex dark core near the geometrical focus can be generated by choosing appropriate values of parameters. The degree of coherence possesses a pair of phase singularities regions in the geometrical focus neighbourhood.

Focusing properties of radially polarized Bessel-like beam with radial cosine phase wavefront by a high numerical aperture objective

By the use of the vector diffraction theory, the focusing properties of radially polarized Bessel-like beam with radial cosine wave front phase through a high numerical-aperture (NA) lens are investigated theoretically and numerically in this work. The wave front phase distribution is a cosine function of radial coordinate. Calculation results show that focus shift is considerably influenced by changing frequency parameter C and topological charge. An increase on the focus shift C, the total intensity pattern changes remarkably and it focuses along the optical propagation axis. Thus, the focal shift direction can be adjusted by the change of the frequency parameter in cosine function. In this paper, the generation of the focal spot allows an increase in focal length in the axial direction of the incident beam propagation. Under higher numerical aperture (NA = 0.95), the effect of the frequency parameter and topological charge on the focal pattern gets stronger.     

Focusing properties of concentric piecewise cylindrical vector beam

The focusing properties of a concentric piecewise cylindrical vector beam is investigated theoretically in this paper. The beam consists of three portions with different and changeable phase retardation and polarization. Numerical simulations show that the evolution of the focal shape is very considerable by changing the radius and polarization rotation angle of each portion of the vector beam. And some interesting focal spots may occur, such as two- or three-peak focus, dark hollow focus, ring focus, and two-ring-peak focus. Corresponding gradient force patterns are also computed, and novel trap patterns, including cup shell shape trap with one trap at its each side along axis, rectangle shell shape trap with one trap at its each side, dumbbell optical trap, spherical shell optical trap, may occur, which shows that the concentric piecewise cylindrical vector beam can be used to construct controllable optical tweezers.
