The characteristic dimensions of Bessel beams are fully determined by the corresponding Bessel functions. We consider a way of obtaining a narrower diameter of the central core of a diffractive pattern generated by the Bessel beams. The method relies on superposition of two or more Bessel beams with appropriately chosen amplitudes and widths. The disturbing influence of the aperture's edges can be eliminated by addition of the proper amplitude filter.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
