Generation of an ultralong pure longitudinal magnetization needle with high axial homogeneity using an azimuthally polarized beam modulated by pure multi-zone plate phase filter

Based on the vector diffraction theory and the inverse Faraday effect in the magneto-optic film, lightinduced magnetization distributions, for a high numerical aperture focusing configuration with an azimuthally polarized beam modulated by an optimized pure multi-zone plate phase filter, are investigated. By making use of the compeletely destructive interference of its inter circle with the p phase shift between adjacent sub-annuli, and the capability to extend the constructive interference in the propagating direction through its narrow outer annulus modulated by three misplaced helical phases, an ultralong (107 lambda) magnetization needle with both transverse super-resolution (0.37 lambda) and uniform axial field strength is achieved in the focal region. The perfect magnetization needle and the accessible method give a guide for ultrahigh density magnetic storage, fabricating magnetic lattices for spin wave operation, as well as atomic trapping.
