| Research Abstract |
We investigated the details of the optical field generated by the radially polarized laser beam, which was expected to produce tiny sub-wavelength sized field. We have found that a narrow-width annular beam indeed produced a tiny focus, which had a half-wavelength width and long depth of focus more than several wavelengths. The resultant focus, which consists of so-called "Z polarization", is expected to have a big impact on a range of applications, such as laser processing, sensing and super-resolution microscopy.
