3D intensity distribution of total diffraction electric field E′ focused by OAP with φ = 0° for R = 160 mm and θx = 0.016°. (a) Intensity profiles in cross-sections at z = − 100λ–100λ. (b) Intensity profile in meridional (x′–z′) plane. (c) Intensity profile in sagittal (y′–z′) plane. Bent yellow dotted line presents propagation locus of main intensity. Green and light blue dashed lines present diffraction focus position in corresponding plane. Intensity is indicated by color “heat”.
