We report the first, to the best of our knowledge, experimental realization of high-quality dark and antidark diffraction-free beams, first theoretically proposed by Ponomarenko et al. [Opt. Lett.32, 2508 (2007)OPLEDP0146-959210.1364/OL.32.002508]. Our method employs a single spatial light modulator (SLM) and is based on superposing mutually uncorrelated but spatially coherent in the time domain Bessel modes with modal weights proportional to the SLM display times of the corresponding modes. We also experimentally verify diffraction-free properties of the generated beams upon their free space propagation.
