Backward flow of energy for an optical vortex with arbitrary integer topological charge

We analyze the sharp focusing of an arbitrary optical vortex with the integer topological charge m and circular polarization in an aplanatic optical system. Explicit formulas to describe all projections of the electric and magnetic fields near the focal spot are derived. Expressions for the near-foc...
