Experimental estimation of the longitudinal component of a highly focused electromagnetic field

Abstract The detection of the longitudinal component of a highly focused electromagnetic beam is not a simple task. Although in recent years several methods have been reported in the literature, this measure is still not routinely performed. This paper describes a method that allows us to estimate a...
