Partially coherent diffraction-free vortex beams with a Bessel-mode structure

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A new family of partially coherent beams carrying optical vortices is introduced. Any member of this family represents an incoherent superposition of fully coherent orthogonal Bessel modes with the same helical wavefront and is notable for its diffraction-free propagation. It is shown analytically and experimentally that such beams can be approximately generated in the Fourier-transforming optical system with a computer-controlled liquid-crystal spatial light modulator.
