Theory and applications of free-electron vortex states (2017, background): “5) cannot be generated in practice, but a good approximation to this solution can be produced in experiments for finite radial apertures r < rmax and propagation distances |z| < zmax [127, 128, 129].”
Electromagnetic metasurfaces: physics and applications (2019, neutral): “In traditional approaches, one uses certain devices (such as an annular slit [339] and axicon lens [340]) to diffract or refract the impinging light symmetrically to the main axis, generating the desired Bessel beams through interference.”
Controlling Vector Bessel Beams with Metasurfaces (2014, background): “systems [1].”
Light fields in complex media: Mesoscopic scattering meets wave control (2017, methodology): “Using those azimutal correlations, the focus was shifted axially, but also elongated to produce a Bessel beam (McGloin and Dholakia, 2005), a doughnut-shaped focus for stimulated emission depletion (STED) (Willig et al., 2007) and more generally for engineering the point-spread-function.”
