It is shown, theoretically and numerically, that the distributions of the longitudinal energy flow for tightly focused light with circular and linear polarization are the same, and that the spot has circular symmetry. It is also shown that the longitudinal energy flows are equal for optical vortices with unit topological charge and with radial or azimuthal polarization. The focal spot has a minimum diameter (all other characteristics being equal), which is measured based on the intensity of an optical vortex with azimuthal polarization. The diameter of the focal spot calculated from the energy flow for light with circular or linear polarization is slightly larger (by a fraction of a percentage). The magnitude of the diameter based on the intensity plays a role in the interaction of light with matter, and the magnitude of the diameter based on the energy flux affects the resolution in optical microscopy which is crucial in sensorial applications.

Abstract In this paper we investigated tight focusing of optical vortex with topological charge m = 2 and left circular polarization. The simulation was based on Richards-Wolf equation. Light with wavelength 532 nm was focused by aplanatic lens with numerical aperture NA=0.95. It was shown that the longitudinal component of Poynting vector has negative values on the optical axis. The reason of the energy backflow is due to the fact that the projection of the spin flow onto the optical axis is negative and exceeds in absolute value the projection of the orbital energy flow, which is always positive.
