Abstract

A technique has been suggested for creating many sub-wavelength focal hole segments by tightly focusing a phase-modulated Azimuthally Polarized Laguerre-Bessel-Gaussian Beam (APLBGB). Vector diffraction theory was used to explore the focusing properties. It has been found that by properly controlling the phase of the incident azimuthally polarized light, a focal hole segment with several focal structures separated by varying axial distances can be constructed. Such focused patterns are expected to be beneficial in atom optics, optical manipulations and multiple optical traps.
