摘要
It is well known that a light spot of sub-wavelength will diverge in all direction. In this letter, A method is presented for generating sub-wavelength (0.44 lambda) longitudinally polarized beam, which propagates without divergence over lengths of about 2 lambda in free space. This is achieved by a high numerical aperture (NA) lens axicon that utilizes spherical aberration to duplicate the performance of an axicon and to create an extended focal line.
