Bessel beams are 'non-diffracting', and thus they overcome some limitations of Gaussian beams. They create optical rods of light in trapping that can guide particles or cells over extended distances.

They demonstrate the projection of exotic patterns of light such as Bessel beams, Airy beams and Laguerre-Gaussian beams, ...

Cellular structures are seen by Bessel beam plane illumination microscopy. Clockwise from upper left: membrane ruffles in a monkey kidney cell; chromosomes (green) and golgi (magenta) in a ...

The results showcase substantial enhancements in image quality compared to traditional Gaussian ... illumination beam. Recent designs of slender, non-diffracting beams, such as Bessel, Airy ...

Evolution properties of a complex coherent square Gaussian-Schell-model beam in a uniaxial crystal orthogonal to the optical axis. Joint SIC and power allocation for a multi-user paired UWOC-NOMA ...
