Characterization of Nondiffracting Bessel Beams in the Propagation Range
نویسنده
چکیده
Nondiffractive Bessel beams were generated experimentally and their propagation was characterized using the self-convergent width method. By the use of this criterion for the calculation of the truncated second-moment of the irradiance, the invariant propagation of the generated Bessel beams is confirmed.

Features of the Gouy Phase of Nondiffract- Ing Beams
It is shown how the linear Gouy phase of an ideal nondiffracting beam of ±(k − kz)z form, with kz being the projection of the wavevector of modulus k of the plane wave spectrum onto the propagation axis z, is built from a rigorous treatment based on the successive approximations to the Helmholtz equation. All of different families of nondiffracting beams with a continuum spectrum, as Bessel bea...
متن کاملApplications of femtosecond Bessel beams to laser ablation
Nondiffracting Bessel beams have been recently applied to single shot ultrafast laser processing of high aspect ratio nanochannels. We review the principles and benefits of nondiffracting Bessel beams for material processing, and we compare experimental results with numerical simulations. We show how the stationarity of nonlinear propagation of ultrafast laser pulses allows high aspect ratio ma...
متن کاملRange-finding by triangulation with nondiffracting beams.
Nondiffracting beams are useful for alignment applications because the size of the beam does not change as the beam propagates. In this research we report a technique that allows for distance measurements with nondiffracting beams. With our approach a diffractive optical element is designed that generates two off-axis, tilted, nondiffracting Bessel function beams. These beams intersect at a des...
متن کاملWhite light Bessel-like beams generated by miniature all-fiber device.
Micron-sized white light propagation invariant beams generated by a simple and compact fiber device are presented. The all-fiber device is fabricated by splicing a short piece of large-core multimode fiber onto a small-core single mode white light delivery fiber. Because this fiber device offers an inherent spatial coherence, nondiffracting white light beams can be created with a temporally inc...
متن کاملVector Analyses of Nondiffracting Bessel Beams
An increasing attention has been concentrated on nondiffracting Bessel beams, due to their novel properties and prospective applications. In order to study their properties entirely, including the transverse modes, the polarization states and the flow of energy, vector analyses are necessary. In this paper, based on auxiliary functions of Hertzian vector potential, nondiffracting Bessel beams a...
