Vector beams with the desired polarization structure interacting with matter result in many novel nonlinear optical effects. Herein, we review the tight focusing and weak focusing properties of three types of light beams, namely, linearly polarized beams, cylindrical vector beams, and hybridly polarized beams. In particular, we revisit the second- and third-order nonlinear optical effects in nonlinear optical media under the excitation of several types of vector beams with the desired polarization distribution. The prospects of their applications in nonlinear optical microscopy and materials characterization are also briefly discussed.

Manipulation of multichannel vector beams (VBs) with metasurfaces is an important topic and holds potential applications in information technology. In this paper, we propose a novel metasurface for the generation of dual VBs, which is composed of orthogonal slit pairs arranged on multiple groups of combined semicircular rings (CSRs). A group of CSRs include a right-shifted set and a left-shifted set of semicircular rings, and each set of semicircular rings has two halves of circles with different radii, sharing the same shifted center. Under the illumination of linearly polarized light, the two shifted sets of semicircular rings generate the two VBs at the shifted center positions on the observation plane. The slit units of each set are designed with independent rotation order and initial orientation angle. By adjusting the linear polarization of illumination, both two VBs with their orders and polarization states are independently controlled simultaneously. The principle and design are demonstrated by the finite-difference time domain (FDTD) simulation. The work is of significance for miniatured devices of VB generators and for related applications.

By numerically simulating the sharp focusing of fractional-order vector beams (0≤m≤1, with azimuthal polarization at m=1 and linear polarization at m=0), it is shown that the shape of the intensity distribution in the focal spot changes from elliptical (m=0) to round (m=0.5) and ends up being annular (m=1). Meanwhile, the distribution pattern of the longitudinal component of the Poynting vector (energy flux) in the focal spot changes in a different way: from circular (m=0) to elliptical (m=0.5) and ends up being annular (m=1). The size of the focal spot at full width at half maximum of intensity for a first-order azimuthally polarized optical vortex (m=1) and numerical aperture NA=0.95 is found to be 0.46 of the incident wavelength, whereas the diameter of the on-axis energy flux for linearly polarized light (m=0) is 0.45 of the wavelength. Therefore, the answers to the questions: when the focal spot is round and when elliptical, or when the focal spot is minimal -- when focusing an azimuthally polarized vortex beam or a linearly polarized non-vortex beam, depend on whether we are considering the intensity at the focus or the energy flow. In another run of numerical simulation, we investigate the effect of the deviation of the beam order from m=2 (when an energy backflow is observed at the focal spot center). The reverse energy flow is shown to occur at the focal spot center until the beam order gets equal to m=1.55.
