FOCUSING PROPERTIES OF SPIRALLY POLARIZED ANNULAR MULTI GAUSSIAN BEAM BY HIGH NA LENS

Abstract

Focusing properties of spirally polarized annular multi Gaussian beam by High NA Lens are investigated theoretically by vector diffraction theory. Results show that the optical intensity in focal region of spirally polarized annular multi Gaussian beam can be altered considerably by the beam order and spiral parameter. Spiral parameter can induce focal pattern change in axial direction remarkably and many novel focal patterns including optical bubbles, focal hole and focal spots of long focal depth and axially separated focal spots and flattop profile are evolved. We expect such a tunable focal patterns are useful for optical manipulation of micro particles.
