Multi-focused electric and magnetic field sourcing from an azimuthally polarized vortex circular hyperbolic umbilic
Abstract:
In this paper, one kind of multi-focusing electric and magnetic field which is sourced from an azimuthally polarized vortex circular hyperbolic umbilic beam (APVCHUB) is presented. After passing through a high NA objective, both the electric and magnetic fields of the APVCHUBs will focus multiple times, and a high-purity longitudinal magnetic field (p =80%) will be generated. Besides, the mutual induction of the vortex phase and azimuthal polarization changes the electric and magnetic fields' vibration state and intensity distribution, making the longitudinal magnetic field carry an m-order concentric vortex. Our findings suggest that the APVCHUB could have potential applications in magnetic particle manipulation, extremely weak magnetic detection, data storage, semiconductor quantum dot excitation, etc.
