We introduce the concept of multifractal into vector optical fields (VOFs). We propose, design and generate new fractal VOFs-multifractal VOFs (MF-VOFs), in which multifractal structure and VOF act as the lattice and the base, respectively. We generate two kinds of MF-VOFs experimentally and explore their focusing behaviors. We also investigate the self-healing and information recovering abilities of MF-VOFs, comparing with those of single-fractal VOFs (SF-VOFs) when their lattices are composed of the same hierarchy of fractal geometries. The results show that MF-VOFs have better self-healing and information recovering abilities than that of traditional SF-VOFs, meaning that MF-VOFs have better ability to resist the information loss during the focusing and imaging processes. These properties may find potential applications in information transmission, optical communication, and so on.
