The use of Gauss-Laguerre vector beams in STED microscopy
Open accessAbstract
This paper examines the use of Gauss-Laguerre beams in STED microscopy. These types of beams are shown to have beneficial properties that can be utilised to generate stable, high quality STED beams resulting in an aberration-resilient generation volume. In this paper we obtain general expressions for Gauss-Laguerre beams being focused through a stratified medium and describe their optimization for STED microscopy purposes. Our results show that the circularly polarised, lowest order "dark" beam is the most beneficial for STED purposes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
