Исследование острой фокусировки поляризационно-неоднородных лазерных пучков высокого порядка методами ближнепольной микроскопии

We investigate focusing of laser beams with radial and azimuthal polarization formed by ear-lier developed optical system based on summation of two beams with circular polarization. Inves-tigation was spent by a method of confocal microscopy. The experiments have shown distinctions in focal intensity distributions for different types of the inhomogeneously polarized beams and as a whole are in agreement with results of the numerical modeling.
