Author:Dudley, Angela L; Lib, Y; Mhlanga, T; Escuti, M; Forbes, ADate:Mar 2014We demonstrate how to create non-diffracting vector Bessel beams by implementing a spatial light modulator (SLM) to generate scalar Bessel beams which are then converted into vector fields by the use of an azimuthally-varying birefringent ...Read more
Author:Dudley, Angela L; Li, Y; Mhlanga, T; Escuti, M; Forbes, ADate:Sep 2013Nondiffracting vector Bessel beams are of considerable interest due to their nondiffracting nature and unique high-numerical-aperture focusing properties. Here we demonstrate their creation by a simple procedure requiring only a spatial light ...Read more
