In this paper we develop a rigorous formulation of Gauss- Laguerre beams in terms of Mie scattering coefficients which permits us to quasi-analytically treat the interaction of a spherical particle located in the focal region of a possibly high numerical aperture lens illuminated by a Gauss-Laguerre beam. This formalism is used to study the scattered field as a function of the radius of a spherical scatterer, as well as the translation of a spherical scatterer through the Gauss-Laguerre illumination in the focal plane. Knowledge of the Mie coefficients provides a deeper insight to understanding the scattering process and explaining the oscillatory behaviour of the scattered intensity distribution.
RESUMEN
Errors in the results and conclusions presented in the paper "Cylindrical vector beam focusing through a dielectric interface" by Biss and Brown (Opt. Express 9, 490-497 (2001)) are discussed.
RESUMEN
We present an algorithm for calculating the field distribution in the focal region of stratified media which is fast and easy to implement. Using this algorithm we study the effect on the electric field distribution of an air gap separating a solid immersion lens and a sample, where we analyse the maximum distance for out-of-contact operation. Also, we study how the presence of a metallic substrate affects the field distribution in the focal region; the interference effects of the reflected field could be used as an alternative for 4Pi-microscopy.
