Abstract
Tight focusing of a linearly-polarized asymmetric Bessel beam, which has a crescent profile, was investigated numerically and experimentally. FDTD calculations show that a binary zone plate of numerical aperture NA = 0.995 forms a crescent in the focal plane, which is rotated clockwise around the optical axis, moving away from the focal plane. Using the Debye formulae it was shown that a direction of polarization of incident light has a significant influence on intensity distribution in focal plane. The crescent in the focal plane was also observed experimentally by focusing of the asymmetric Bessel beam using an immersive objective (NA = 1.25).
