The focusing properties of a so-called reflaxicon (a combination of a diverging and a converging axicon) are studied both theoretically and experimentally. Calculations of intensity distributions produced by this system are made by evaluating the Kirchhoff–Fresnel diffraction integral, first by means of an approximate technique, the stationary phase method, then by a more exact numerical method. The calculations are presented for various planes along the axis of the axicons. The effects of the presence of the supporting mount of the axicons and of some important misalignments of the system on the distributions is also investigated. Experimental results of actual intensity distributions produced by focusing a near-fundamental Gaussian beam by such a system are also presented and are seen to be in fair agreement with numerical calculations. Such calculations would be valuable in many applications for predicting important characteristics (e.g., peak intensity, length of the focal line, degree of asymmetry) of the intensity distributions formed by optical systems containing an axicon pair as the focusing component.

A circularly polarized vortex beam possesses similar focusing properties as a radially polarized beam. This type of beam is highly valuable for developing optical manufacturing technology, microscopy, and particle manipulation. In this work, a left-hand circularly polarized terahertz (THz) vortex beam (CPTVB) is generated by utilizing a THz quarter wave plate and a spiral phase plate. Focusing properties of its longitudinal component Ez are detailedly discussed on the simulation and experiment. With reducing the F-number of the THz beam and comparing with a transverse component Ex of a general circularly polarized THz beam, the simulation results show that the focal spot size and intensity of its Ez component can reach 87 and 50% of Ex under a same focusing condition. In addition, the experimental results still demonstrate that the left-hand CPTVB can always maintain fine Ez focusing properties in a broad bandwidth, which manifest the feasibility of this class of THz beams.
