Abstract
Using the FDTD simulation, sharp focusing of a linearly polarized Gaussian beam with an embedded topological charge m = 3 by a phase zone plate and focusing of a Gaussian beam by a phase spiral zone plate with topological charge m = 3 were studied. The obtained results showed that proposed elements formed different patterns of intensity at a focal plane. The spiral zone plate forms a focal spot with three petals. At a distance of 13.5 μm from the focus, the lobe structure of the intensity (and energy flux) is replaced by an annular distribution.
