Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The properties of the focal spot for 4π focusing with radially polarized light are presented for various apodization factors. With a focusing system satisfying the Herschel condition, sharp focal spots with almost-perfect spherical symmetry (leading to equal axial and transverse resolution) and extremely low sidelobes are achieved.
