- Clear violation of the Optical Theorem for radially polarised Gaussian Beams has been demonstrated theoretically and experimentally at both optical and microwave frequencies. Microwave experiments have been entirely designed, established and successfully executed in the Antenna Laboratory. The work is a result of multi-disciplinary co-operation among physical, electronic and optical scientists from King’s College, QMUL and Tel Aviv University. Further co-operation is under consideration. The work has impact in areas employing radial polarisation such as optical trapping, microscopy and interaction of nano-objects with unconventional optical/microwave beams with a complex vectorial structure.
