We report on an interferometry-based measurement of the phase and group velocities of optical Bessel beams, providing confirmation of their superluminal character in the non-diffractive region. The measurements were performed in free space with a continuous wave laser and femtosecond pulses for phase and group velocities respectively. The Bessel beams were produced using a conical mirror. Einst...

Abstract: We define q-analogues of Fourier-Bessel series, by means of complete qorthogonal systems constructed with the third Jackson q-Bessel function. Sufficient conditions for pointwise convergence of these series are obtained, in terms of a general convergence principle valid for other Fourier series on grids defined over numerable sets. The results are illustrated with specific examples of...

The discrete Painlevé III equation is investigated based on the bilinear formalism. It is shown that it admits the solutions expressed by the Casorati determinant whose entries are given by the discrete Bessel function. Moreover, based on the observation that these discrete Bessel functions are transformed to the q-Bessel functions by a simple variable transformation, we present a q-difference ...

In this paper we study spaces of Bessel potentials in n-dimensional Euclidean spaces. They are constructed on the basis of a rearrangement-invariant space (RIS) by using convolutions with Bessel-MacDonald kernels. Specifically, the treatment covers spaces of classical Bessel potentials. We establish two-sided estimates for the corresponding modulus of smoothness of order k ∈ N, ωk(f ; t), and d...

The normalization of energy divergent Weber waves and finite energy Weber-Gauss beams is reported. The well-known Bessel and Mathieu waves are used to derive the integral relations between circular, elliptic, and parabolic waves and to present the Bessel and Mathieu wave decomposition of the Weber waves. The efficiency to approximate a Weber-Gauss beam as a finite superposition of Bessel-Gauss ...

We theoretically investigate the use of Bessel light beams generated using axicons for creating optical dipole traps for cold atoms and atomic waveguiding. Zeroth-order Bessel beams can be used to produce highly elongated dipole traps allowing for the study of one-dimensional trapped gases and realization of a Tonks gas of impentrable bosons. First-order Bessel beams are shown to be able to pro...

Abstract. The series expansion of a power of the modified Bessel function of the first kind is studied. This expansion involves a family of polynomials introduced by C. Bender et al. New results on these polynomials established here include recurrences in terms of Bell polynomials evaluated at values of the Bessel zeta function. A probabilistic version of an identity of Euler yields additional ...

Regarding the generalizations of the Bessel inequality in Hilbert spaces which are due to Bombiari and Boas–Bellman, we obtain a version of the Bessel inequality and some generalizations of this inequality in the framework of Hilbert C∗-mo...

sarcocystis is a genus of cyst-forming parasites infecting both animals and human. this study aimed to isolate coccidian tissue cysts from muscle of infected animals by a simple method in addition to molecular identification of sarcocystis cruzi from the samples. the samples were obtained from commercial source in babol, northern iran. five grams of calf muscle was cut into 2-3 pieces in 30 ml ...

Infinite integrals involving Bessel functions are recast, by means of an Abel transform, in terms of Fourier integrals. As there are many efficient numerical methods for computing Fourier integrals, this leads to a convenient way of approximating Bessel function integrals.
