Production of high-order Bessel beams with a Mach-Zehnder interferometer

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A new experimental setup is demonstrated to produce high-order Bessel beams. It is based on the field decomposition of the Bessel beam into its even and odd field components. The implementation is performed over the spectral components with a Mach-Zehnder interferometer that synthesizes the components into the desired Bessel beam. The main advantage of our setup is that the required annular transmittances have only discrete phase changes of π radians instead of a continuous change of phase.
