Abstract
Generation of longitudinally polarized focusing twin Bessel beams in focal region of a high numerical aperture (NA) objective is described based on circular Dammann gratings for radially polarized Bessel–Gauss input fields. Numerical simulations show that, under focusing of an objective of NA=0.95, the depth of focus (DOF) of the focused twin Bessel beams can reach as long as tens or even ∼102 of wavelengths while its average transverse spot over the whole range of the DOF is kept subdiffration-limited. At the same time, the longitudinal polarization purity in focus volume is higher than 90% for the central lobe. Therefore, this tightly focused non-diffracting field should be of great interest for applications in numerous areas, such as particle acceleration and manipulation, micromachining, second-harmonic generation, Raman spectroscopy, etc.
