Measuring of Transverse Energy Flows in a Focus of an Aluminum Lens
In this study, we theoretically and experimentally investigate the propagation of a second-order cylindrical vector beam through an aluminum lens which forms a tight focus at the distance of the wavelength. Simulation by the finite-difference time-domain method and the Richards–Wolf formulae produce...

description | In this study, we theoretically and experimentally investigate the propagation of a second-order cylindrical vector beam through an aluminum lens which forms a tight focus at the distance of the wavelength. Simulation by the finite-difference time-domain method and the Richards–Wolf formulae produces light field distributions which coincide with experimental measurements provided with scanning near-field optical microscopy. We demonstrate that a pyramidal metallized cantilever with a hole is more sensitive to the transversal component of intensity than to the full intensity or to the Umov–Poynting vector in areas of reverse energy flow. |
