Investigation of Idealized Vectorial Focusing Situation Using Debye-Wolf Integral
Abstract
Knowing the vectorial electric field distribution near the focus of a high-NA objective lens is of great importance for applications e.g. microscopy, optical tweezer, laser machining, etc. Debye-Wolf integral provides the semi-analytical solution of the vectorial field near the focal plane, and it is widely used in the community. We demonstrate how to use the Debye-Wolf integral calculator in VirtualLab Fusion to investigate focal field properties with respect to different parameters.
