Investigation of vortex evanescent fields in the near zone of fiber taper and sub-wavelength diffractive axicon

The diffraction patterns of vortex damped fields formed in the near zone of an optical fiber tapper and a subwavelength diffraction axicon with a numerical aperture more than 1 were obtained numerically using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method and the finite element method (FEM).
