The influence of polarization on the shape of the focal spot was discussed. The focal intensity distribution for radially and azimuthally polarized input fields was compared to analyze the effect of vector properties of light. A radially polarization field led to a longitudinal electric field component for strong focusing. The results show that the radially polarized light beam was focused to a spot size significantly smaller than for linear polarization.
