We present a simple method using an axicon and spatial light modulator to create multiple parallel Bessel beams and precisely control their individual positions in three dimensions. This technique is tested as an alternative to classical holographic beam shaping commonly used now in optical tweezers. Various applications of precise control of multiple Bessel beams are demonstrated within a sing...

Linear and nonlinear processes of transferring optical singularities from anisotropic crystals onto the wavefront of Bessel light beams (BLBs) are investigated. The generation of high-order vortices at the propagation of BLBs along the optical axes of crystals was studied. Particularly, a nonlinear frequency doubling of Bessel vortices in the conditions of new type synchronism (full conical pha...

Bessel beams are widely used in optical metrology mainly because of their large Rayleigh range (focal length). Radial/azimuthal polarization of such beams is of interest in the fields of material processing, plasma absorption or communication. In this paper an experimental set-up is presented, which generates a Bessel-type vector beam with a spatial polarization, oscillating along the optical a...

some estimates are proved for the generalized fourier-bessel transform in the space (l^2) (alpha,n)-index certain classes of functions characterized by the generalized continuity modulus.

In this paper, we study Bessel processes of dimension δ ≡ 2(1 − μ), with 0 < δ < 2, and some related martingales and random times. Our approach is based on martingale techniques and the general theory of stochastic processes (unlike the usual approach based on excursion theory), although for 0 < δ < 1, these processes are even not semimartingales. The last time before 1 when a Bessel process hi...

Diffraction is a cornerstone of optical physics and has implications for the design of all optical systems. The paper discusses the so-called ‘non-diffracting’ light field, commonly known as the Bessel beam. Approximations to such beams can be experimentally realized using a range of different means. The theoretical foundation of these beams is described and then various experiments that make u...

Recently, harmonic imaging has been shown to increase image quality in medical imaging. This is believed to be caused by decreased sidelobes. It is also due to a decreased sensitivity to near-field aberrations owing to the lower transmission frequency, and the lower relative amplitude of the second harmonic in the near-field. One of the problems of limited diffraction beams has been the sidelob...
