Energy backflow in a focal spot of the cylindrical vector beam

Using Richards-Wolf formulae it is shown that a tightly focused azimuthally-radially polarized m-th order laser beam with an arbitrary apodization function produces a reverse energy flow in the focal plane (m=2). If m=3, the reverse energy flow on the axis is equal to zero, increasing in the axis vi...
