title: Strongly focused polarized light pulse.
abstract: We investigate theoretically the electric field of a focused light pulse carrying an inhomogeneous polarization distribution. It is found that the spectra of the polarization components are in general different, thus leading to a spatial spectral distribution that differs from the scalar case.
