Applications of cylindrical vector beams for optical micromanipulation
Cylindrical vector beams (CVBs) are the class of laser beams which exhibit azimuthal symmetry in their polarisation structure. These beams exhibit a `donut' intensity profile due to an on-axis polarisation vortex. CVBs have received significant recent interest due to their similarities to the m...
