Scalar solutions of the wave equation in coordinate systems with different
transverse geometry give rise to light beams with different dynamical properties.
By means of a rigorous vector treatment, the polarization state of an optical field
can be analysed in detail as well. Here we present a general scenario of the
properties that light beams may have depending on their inherent geometry and
polarization state. We discuss some applications of these results in the context of
optical micromanipulation, including the development of models of interaction
between light and micro-particles and the design of new experimental
techniques.
