Toward a Corrected Knife-Edge-Based Reconstruction of Tightly Focused Higher Order Beams

The knife-edge method is an established technique for profiling of even tightly focused light beams. However, the straightforward implementation of this method fails if the materials and geometry of the knife-edges are not chosen carefully or, in particular, if knife-edges are used that are made of...
