Non-Gaussian beam profiles such as Bessel or annular beams enable novel approaches to modifying materials through laser-based processing. In this review paper, properties, generation methods and emerging applications for nonconventional beam shapes are discussed, including Bessel, annular, and vortex beams. These intensity profiles have important implications in a number of technologically rele...

We present a method for the realization of radially and azimuthally polarized nonparaxial Bessel beams in a rigorous but simple manner. This result is achieved by using the concept of Hertz vector potential to generate exact vector solutions of Maxwell's equations from scalar Bessel beams. The scalar part of the Hertz potential is built by analogy with the paraxial case as a linear combination ...

Bessel processes play an important role in financial mathematics because of their strong relation to financial processes like geometric Brownian motion or CIR processes. We are interested in the first time Bessel processes and more generally, radial Ornstein–Uhlenbeck processes hit a given barrier. We give explicit expressions of the Laplace transforms of first hitting times by (squared) radial...

In this paper, by using the sequence of adjointable operators from pro-C*-algebra $ mathcal{A} $ into a Hilbert $ mathcal{A} $-module $ E $. We introduce frames with bounds in pro-C*-algebra $ mathcal{A} $. New frames in Hilbert modules over pro-C*-algebras are called standard $ ast $-frames of multipliers. Meanwhile, we study several useful properties of standard $ ast $-frames in Hilbert modu...
