“…Of particular interest is the study of the effects of non-paraxiality in the propagation of focused vector beams [85][86][87][88][89][90][91][92][93][94][95][96][97][98], of evanescent waves [99,100] and the effects of coherence and polarization of pulsed beams [101]. Other important topics are the polarization effects in plasmonic structures, including subwavelength gratings [102], multilayer devices and microlens arrays for imaging systems [103][104][105][106][107][108], diffractive optical elements [109][110][111], etc. New directions in technology are opening up thanks to the possibilities of controlling the spin angular momentum and Berry phase [112,113].…”
