Abstract:Usually, the structure of paraxial light beams is characterized by the intensity associated with distribution of the longitudinal energy flow density (Poynting momentum) across the transverse plane. In this work, the special attention is paid to the distribution of internal energy flows described by the transverse Poynting momentum (TPM) components. This approach discloses additional polarization-dependent features of the vector beam transformations; in application to the edge diffraction of a circularly polar… Show more
