The tightly focused spots of cylindrical vectors (CVs) are dependent on polarization composition. We experimentally demonstrate the effect of polarization purity (PP) of the CV beam on the tightly focused spot quantitatively, which should be strictly controlled for the effective applications of the CV beam. The focal spots measured by a knife-edge scanning method showed that the azimuthally polarized (AP) component increases the transverse field and the size of the focal spots, while the radially polarized component results in a nonzero intensity distribution at the center of the focus even in a high PP AP beam.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined by persistent abnormalities of kidney function or structure that have consequences for the health. A progressive decline of excretory kidney function has effects on body homeostasis. CKD is tightly associated with accelerated cardiovascular disease and severe infections, and with premature death.

The Richards-Wolf vector diffraction theory is applied to analyze the radiation field emitted by dipole arrays, aiming to determine the incident field required under a high numerical aperture (NA=0.95).

In this study, we present a versatile methodology for the fabrication of tunable plasmonic nanostructures by employing a disordered gold nanoisland-dielectric-metal configuration, achieved through femtosecond laser printing. By reshaping the gold nanoislands and reconfiguring them into nanograting-like structures, the orientation of these nanostructures is influenced by the polarization of the femtosecond laser light, leading to controllable plasmon resonance and polarization-sensitive color display.

Based on the theory of vector beam, the propagation and tight-focusing models were derived to reveal the focusing and tight-focusing properties of the RP-BG-RPVBs by numerical simulation. Then, the experimental setup was established to validate that the RP-BG-RPVBs presented the fan-shaped and polycyclic intensity distribution, which possessed the features of RP beams, BG beams, and RPVBs, similarly.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFThe third harmonic (TH) signals in subwavelength scale devices have a wide range of applications, including nano-laser, microscopic imaging, sensing, and so on. However, the limited TH signal intensity still restricts practical applications due to the inherently small nonlinear coefficient in material and relatively weak confinement of the pump electromagnetic field. Here, we present the enhancement of TH signals in the isotropic Si nanosphere and the Au core/Si shell nanosphere exhibiting anapole mode excited by tightly focused radially polarized beams.
