Bessel-like beam generation by superposing multiple Airy beams

Opt Express. 2011 Apr 11;19(8):7356-64. doi: 10.1364/OE.19.007356.

Abstract

We propose a way of generating Bessel-like non-diffracting beams based on the superposition of multiple Airy beams. We also demonstrate, through numerical simulations of the propagation dynamics of the Bessel-like beams, that these Bessel-like beams can be modified to show the feature of vortex power flow by controlling the initial positions of each single Airy beam.
