Numerics on tailored non-paraxial light fields \({{{\cal{E}}}}{({x},{y},{0})}\) realized by tightly focusing tailored vectorial fields. Vectorial flower (a) or web (b) structures (σ12 = ±8) with additional phase vortices of charge \(\ell\) are considered as input fields. The total focal intensity \(|{{{\cal{E}}}}|^2\) as well as intensity contributions \(|{\cal{E}}_{x,y,z}|^2\) of transverse (\({\cal{E}}_{x,y}\)) and longitudinal (\({\cal{E}}_z\)) polarization components in the focal plane (x, y, 0) are presented (NA = 0.8). The relation of the maximum (max) or mean value of \(|{\cal{E}}_{x,y,z}|^2\) to the maximum or mean of \(|{{{\cal{E}}}}|^2\), respectively, is given below images
