Millimeter-structured nondiffracting surface beams

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A new type of scalar nondiffracting beam is presented whose main feature is the freedom on the choice of a two-dimensional spatial intensity pattern dependent upon the longitudinal coordinate. Examples of such millimeter-structured surface beams are provided over Cartesian and cylindrical planes, and, motivated by the idea of designing beams capable of simultaneous manipulation, guidance, and/or trapping of micro- and millimeter-size particles, here we also derive analytical expressions for their beam shape coefficients in the framework of the generalized Lorenz–Mie theory, a first step toward the analysis of light–matter interactions with spherical particles from such light fields.
