Abstract
We introduce a new, to the best of our knowledge, class of optical beams, which feature a spatial profile akin to an “inverted pin.” In particular, we asymptotically find that close to the axis, the transverse amplitude profile of such beams takes the form of a Bessel function with a width that gradually increases during propagation. We examine numerically the behavior of such inverted pin beams in turbulent environments as measured via the scintillation index and show that they outperform Gaussian beams (collimated and focused) as well as Bessel beams and regular pin beams, which are all optimized, especially in the moderate and strong fluctuation regimes.
