Abstract
A smaller focal spot can be obtained by choosing a tailored polarization, e.g. radial polarization in the case rotationally symmetric high numerical aperture focusing. The same polarization mode maximizes the coupling to an atom when using the correct 4π geometry for transforming the incident light field.
