Toric lens analysis as a focal ring and Bessel beam generator

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We propose an analytical solution of the focal ring generated at the focus of a toric lens. The analytical field of the focal ring is used with a Fourier transform lens to generate a Bessel beam. A comparative analysis between the use of an illuminated annular aperture, an axicon, and a toric lens to generate a Bessel beam is performed, and the benefits and drawbacks of each are discussed. This highlights the advantages of using a toric lens with a Gaussian beam to produce a focal line of increasing intensity, which is advantageous for applications such as high depth-of-field microscopy.
