Zusammenfassung: | We propose a feasible strategy for firstly constructing diffraction-limited light-induced magnetization spot arrays capable of dynamically controlling transverse polarization orientation of each spot. To achieve this goal, we subtly design a tailored incident light comprised of two sorts of beams and sufficiently demonstrate tit's production through phase modulation of a radially polarized beam. Via tightly focusing counter-propagating composite illuminating beams in a 4π optical microscopic configuration, two orthogonally polarized focal fields with π/2 phase difference between them are formed, inducing a three-dimensional (3D) super-resolved transverse magnetization spot in the magnetic-optical (MO) film. Exploiting the ideal of the multi-zone plate (MZP) filter, we further achieve versatile magnetization spot arrays with controllable in-plane polarization direction in each spot. Such well-defined magnetization behavior is attributed to not merely the coherent interference of vectorial optical waves, but also non-overlapping superposition of localized focal fields. Our achievable outcomes pave the way for practical applications in spintronics and multi-value MO parallelized storage. |
