摘要：
This paper presents a method to focus azimuthally polarized vortex light beam by the combination of a vortex phase plate, a binary-phase optical element (BOE) and a high-numerical aperture (NA) objective lens. Our proposed method achieves a smaller spot size than other polarized beams under the same condition. Compared to the system with the annular aperture, the minimum of full width at half-maximum is improved to 0.259 lambda and the energy conversion efficiency is higher in the proposed method when FWHM <0.284 lambda. The Strehl Ratio of the focused spot always exceeds 10%. The impact of changing the BOE's structure and parameters on focusing results is also discussed. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
