Fields of a radially polarized Gaussian laser beam beyond the paraxial approximation.
Analytic expressions for the fields of a tightly focused radially polarized Gaussian laser beam are derived, accurate to epsilon5, where epsilon is the associated diffraction angle. The fields satisfy Maxwell's equations, and the calculated beam power based on them is significantly different from that of the paraxial-approximation fields.
متن کاملEfficient radially polarized laser beam generation with a double interferometer.
Conversion of a linearly polarized CO(2) laser beam into a radially polarized beam is demonstrated with a novel double-interferometer system. The first Mach-Zehnder interferometer converts the linearly polarized input beam into two beams with sin(2) θ and cos(2) θ intensity profiles, where θ is the azimuthal angle. This is accomplished by using two spiral-phase-delay plates with opposite handed...
متن کاملBeam width of highly-focused radially-polarized fields.
On the basis of a formal analogy with the irradiance moments, analytical definitions are proposed for the width of both the transverse and the longitudinal component of rotationally-symmetric radially-polarized fields at the focal plane of a high-focusing optical system. The beam width of the whole field is also introduced. The transverse beam size is thus associated with the overall spatial st...
متن کاملGeneration of Radially Polarized Beam for Laser Micromachining
A novel means of generating radially polarized light is reported in this paper. A birefringent plate was placed in a divergent or divergent portion of the laser beam for polarisation conversation. The influence of birefringent plate thickness on the purity and efficiency of radial beam conversion is studied qualitatively. This technique is robust, simple and cost effective for radial polarisati...
متن کاملFields of a tightly focused radially polarized laser beam: the truncated series versus the complex-source-point spherical wave representation
In this paper, the fields of a radially polarized fundamental Gaussian beam are derived with a complex-source-point spherical wave approach and then compared and contrasted with those derived recently from a Lax series to the order of ε15, where ε is the diffraction angle. It is shown that the domain of validity of the derived fields is restricted by a discontinuity built into the vector potent...
