“…15, we consider a double-mode vector field, which is composed of an inner mode and an outer mode (both are local linearly polarized vector fields with the same topological charge m = 1 but the different initial phases of ϕ 10 and ϕ 20 ). 18 …”

“…However, such a focus "ring" is truncated in the azimuthal direction by two sector apertures with the same azimuthal width of about b and their bisectors in the directions of ψ = b/2 ± π /2 due to the presence of exp{±ju[ψ − (b/2 ± π /2)]} in Eq. (18). The focus "ring" is separated into a pair of partial rings.…”

“…12,13 In particular, the azimuthally polarized vector field (another typical vector field) carrying a vortex phase can realize a sharper far-field focal spot of 0.15λ 2 . 14 Based on the design of the SOP distribution, the engineered vector fields can achieve the focus shaping, 15 the light needle of longitudinally polarized field, 16 the optical cage, 17,18 the optical chain, 19 and so on. The vector fields have many important applications such as particle acceleration, 20 single molecule imaging, 21 near-field optics, 22 nonlinear optics, 23 and optical trapping and manipulation of particles.…”

In this chapter, the concept of vector optical fields is briefly introduced at first. Then we secondly introduce our method for generating vector optical fields based on the Poincaré sphere and wavefront reconstruction is presented. Novel effects arising from these vector optical fields, including the optical cage, the splitting caused by the axial-symmetry breaking, the Young's two-slit interference, and the optical orbital angular momentum will be reported followed by a brief summary of our findings.

“…The second type is spatially inhomogeneous polarized beams, such as cylindrical vector (CV) beams. In recent years, there has been a rapid increase of the number of publications on the CV beams [3][4][5][19][20][21][22][23], due to their interesting properties and potential applications. It has been found that the highly focused radially polarized beams can produce a tighter spot with an extremely strong longitudinal component near the focus.…”

2015): Radiation forces of highly focused radially polarized hollow sinh-Gaussian beams on a Rayleigh metallic particle, Journal of Modern Optics, Based on the vector diffraction theory, the tight focusing properties of radially polarized hollow sinh-Gaussian (HsG) beams are theoretically studied. It is found that the radially polarized HsG beams can form a longitudinally polarized sub-wavelength focal spot. Moreover, the radiation forces acting on a Rayleigh metallic particle are calculated for the case where the radially polarized HsG beams are applied. Compared with the use of conventional Gaussian beams, the high-order radially polarized HsG beams can largely enhance the radial trap stiffness and broaden the axial trap distance. The influence of the beam order m on the focusing properties and trap stiffness is investigated in detail.

“…More flexible methods are reported in the Refs. [16,17], where, by modulating the polarized state of the beam, a uniform optical cage is formed in the focus.…”

Based on the vector diffraction theory, the focusing intensity distribution of TEM 01 mode radially polarized Laguerre-Gaussian beams in the focal region is investigated theoretically. By setting the parameters of the complex pupil filter at the pupil plane purposely, a single three-dimensional (3D) optical cage with symmetrical intensity along the z and x axes and the contrast ratio of 0.5 is obtained. Moreover, by optimizing the parameters of pupil filter, multi-three-dimensional optical cages with more excellent quality, such as the contrast ratio of the central optical cage reaching into 0.85, are achieved. In addition, the explanations of how the complex pupil filter affects the focal intensity are also given.
