Tight focusing properties of transversely polarized beam
摘要
Cylindrical vector beams have attracted significant attention due to their unique polarization characteristics and their ability to generate strong longitudinal field components under tight focusing conditions. In this work, we investigate the focal field distribution of a phase-modulated cylindrical vector beam using the Richards–Wolf vector diffraction theory. The influence of phase modulation on the electric field components in the focal region is analyzed in detail. Numerical simulations reveal that the phase modulation significantly modifies the focal spot structure and enhances the longitudinal electric field component. The results demonstrate that appropriate phase engineering can be used to control the focal field distribution, which may be useful for applications in optical trapping, high-resolution microscopy, and nano-optics.
