Abstract
Dual-focusing effect with a cylindrical vector-light characteristic (i.e., radial and azimuthal polarizations) is theoretically proposed and numerically demonstrated by spin-decoupled phase control with all-silicon metalens. Attributed to the polarization dependence, the pair of focusing cylindrical vector beams can be interchanged by orthogonally switching the polarization of incident light. We demonstrate the unique contributions of focused radial and azimuthal vector beams to longitudinal and transverse optical forces on glass spheres, respectively, by calculations based on the Maxwell stress tensor. This paper presents the use of all-silicon metalens with highly-compact vector beams, promising for applications such as multidimensional optical trapping.
