Abstract
Focusing properties of the cylindrical vector axisymmetric Bessel-modulated Gaussian beam with quadratic radial phase dependence (QBG beam) in high numerical aperture parabolic mirror system is investigated theoretically by vector diffraction theory. Results show that intensity distribution in focal region can be altered considerably by beam parameter μ and polarization angle. The tightly focused cylindrically polarized axial symmetric Bessel-modulated Gaussian beams by a high numerical aperture parabolic mirror have possible applications in particle acceleration, optical trapping and manipulating, single molecule imaging and high resolution imaging microscopy.
