Here, a novel and adequate measure for the size of the region where the axial power content mainly concentrates is proposed on the basis of an uncertainty principle. Accordingly, a meaningful relationship is provided for both the spread of the incident beam at the entrance of the highly focused optical system and the size of the region where the on-axis power mainly concentrates.15 p.application/pdfeng(c) Optical Society of America, 2020Distribució de GaussÒpticaGaussian distributionOpticsUncertainty principle for axial power content of highly focused fieldsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article7062462021-01-25info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
