Abstract:

We consider the polarization effects occurring inside a focusing lens as well as due to formation by this lens of an asymmetric wave front of a spherical converging wave. We formulate the requirements to the experiment that would favor observations of the polarization effects occurring inside the lens that yield the deviation of a focused beam across the focal waist. Using numerical simulations, we have optimized parameters of the initial wave front. For this purpose, the inverse problem is considered on optimizing parameters of the converging wave front at a preset distribution of radiation across the focal waist. The parameters of the field on the spherical surface are calculated using the relation between the wave front in the focal waist and on the spherical surface obtained using direct and inverse Fourier transforms.
