Mie scattering of Laguerre-Gaussian beams: photonic nanojets and near-field optical vortices (1401.7585v1)
Published 29 Jan 2014 in physics.optics
Abstract: We study Mie scattering of Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) light beams remodelled using the method of far-field matching. The theoretical results are used to analyze the optical field in the near-field region for purely azimuthal LG beams characterized by a nonzero azimuthal mode number $m_{LG}$. The mode number $m_{LG}$ is found to have a profound effect on the morphology of photonic nanojets and the near-field structure of optical vortices associated with the components of the electric field.
