Abstract
We demonstrate experimentally generation of diffraction-free plasmonic beams with zeroth- and first-order Bessel intensity profiles using axicon-like structures fabricated on gold film surfaces and designed to operate at a wavelength of 700 nm. The central beam features a very low divergence () for a narrow waist of the order of one wavelength and the ability to self reconstruct, which are the main signatures of diffraction-free beams.
