Creating multiple ultra-long longitudinal magnetization textures by strongly focusing azimuthally polarized circular
Abstract:
We come up with a simple feasible scheme for the creation of multiple ultra-long longitudinal magnetization textures. This is realized by directly strongly focusing azimuthally polarized circular Airy vortex beams onto an isotropic magneto-optical medium based on the vectorial diffraction theory and the inverse Faraday effect. It is found that, by jointly tuning the intrinsic parameters (i. e. the radius of main ring, the scaling factor, and the exponential decay factor) of the incoming Airy beams and the topological charges of the optical vortices, we are able to garner not only super-resolved scalable magnetization needles as usual, but also steerable magnetization oscillations and nested magnetization tubes with opposite polarities for the first time. These exotic magnetic behaviors depend on the extended interplay between the polarization singularity of multi-ring structured vectorial light fields and the additional vortex phase. The findings demonstrated are of great interest in opto-magnetism and emerging classical or quantum opto-magnetic applications.
