Abstract
In this Letter, superposed Bessel beams (SBBs) are realized by alternatively imprinting holograms of opposite-order Bessel beams along the radial direction on a spatial light modulator. The propagation invariance and non-rotation properties of SBBs are theoretically predicted and experimentally demonstrated. The focusing property of SBBs with a high numerical aperture (NA) objective is investigated with the Debye vectorial diffraction theory. Near the focal plane, a circularly distributed multiple foci pattern is achieved. The multiple foci generated from SBBs are adopted in a two-photon fabrication system, and micropattern fabrication by a single exposure is demonstrated. Facile fabrication of three-dimensional microstructures with SBBs is realized by dynamically controlling the number of focal spots, and the diameter and rotation of the focal pattern.
