Nonparaxial propagation of vectorial Gaussian beams diffracted at a circular aperture

Based on the vectorial Rayleigh diffraction integral, the nonparaxial propagation of vectorial Gaussian beams diffracted at a circular aperture is studied. The far-field and paraxial cases are treated as special cases of our general result. It is shown that for the apertured case the f parameter still plays an important role in determining the nonparaxiality of vectorial diffracted Gaussian beams, but both the f parameter and truncation affect the beam evolution behavior.     

Propagation of vectorial nonparaxial Gaussian beams through an annular aperture

Starting from the vectorial Rayleigh diffraction integrals, the nonparaxial propagation of vectorial Gaussian beams through an annular aperture is studied. The analytical propagation expressions are derived, which permit us to treat the on-axis field and far field of vectorial nonparaxial Gaussian beams diffracted at the annular aperture, the nonparaxial diffraction at a circular aperture and a circular disc as our special cases in a unified way. The validity of our treatment is confirmed by direct numerical integration of the Rayleigh formulae. It is shown that the f-parameter and annular obscuration affect the beam nonparaxiality in the case of diffraction at the annular aperture.     

Phase singularities of nonparaxial cosh-Gaussian vortex beams diffracted by a rectangular aperture

Analytical expression for the propagation of nonparaxial cosh-Gaussian (ChG) beams diffracted by a rectangular aperture is derived based on the vector Rayleigh-Sommerfeld diffraction integrals and expansion of the aperture window function into a finite sum of complex Gaussian functions, and used to study the phase singularities of nonparaxial diffracted ChG vortex beams. The pair creation, annihilation, motion of phase singularities in the diffracted field and the dependence of position and number of phase singularities on the aperture and beam parameters, as well as on the beam nonparaxiality are illustrated by numerical examples.     

Effect of vectorial nature on spectral anomalies of ultrashort pulsed beams from a hard-edged aperture

Based on the vectorial Rayleigh–Sommerfeld diffraction integrals, the analytical expression for the spectral intensity of a vectorial nonparaxial ultrashort pulsed Gaussian beam diffracted at a rectangular hard-aperture is derived. The results of the far-field and paraxial cases can be regarded as special cases of the general expression. Effect of vectorial nature on spectral anomalies of ultrashort pulsed beams passing through a hard-edged aperture is analyzed in detail. It is shown that the spectral switch near the phase singularity, which is predicated under the condition of the scalar paraxial theory, disappears with the increasing effect of the vectorial and nonparaxial nature.     

A comparison of the vectorial nonparaxial approach with Fresnel and Fraunhofer approximations

Based on the vectorial Rayleigh diffraction integrals, a nonparaxial propagation equation of vectorial plane waves diffracted at a circular aperture is derived. The nonparaxial far-field expression, Fresnel and Fraunhofer diffraction formulae are given and treated as special cases of our general expression. The theoretical formulation permits us to study and compare the transversal and axial intensity distributions of diffracted plane waves both analytically and numerically. Illustrative numerical examples are given. It is shown that the vectorial nonparaxial approach has to be used if the aperture size is comparable with or less than the wavelength, and the knowledge of both transversal and axial intensity distributions is required to provide a comprehensive comparison of the paraxial and nonparaxial results.     

Anomalous spectral behavior of vectorial apertured ultrashort pulsed beams beyond the paraxial approximation

Based on the vectorial Rayleigh diffraction integrals, the analytical expression for the spectral intensity of a vectorial nonparaxial ultrashort pulsed Gaussian beam diffracted at a circular hard-aperture is derived. The effect of f-parameter (f = 1/k₀w₀) on the spectral anomalies near phase singularities of the vectorial nonparaxial ultrashort pulsed beams is studied. It is shown that the spectral switch near the phase singularity of diffracted vectorial nonparaxial ultrashort pulsed beam still exists beyond paraxial regime, but disappears when the f-parameter is larger than a certain value.     

Near-field properties of diffraction through a circular subwavelength-size aperture

Analytical nonparaxial vectorial electric field expressions for both Gaussian beams and plane waves diffracted through a circular aperture are derived by using the vector plane angular spectrum method for the first time,which is suitable for the subwavelength aperture and the near-field region.The transverse properties of intensity distributions and their evolutions with the propagating distance,and the power transmission functions for diffracted fields containing the whole field,the evanescent field and the propagating field are investigated in detail,which is helpful for understanding the relationship between evanescent and propagating components in the near-field region and can be applied to apertured near-field scanning optical microscopy.
