Gauss-Bessel Axial Intensity Shaping
From Standard to Unform Axial Intensity
Abstract
This use case employs a Gauss-Bessel Beam Shaper twin to shape a collimated Gaussian beam into a Gauss-Bessel beam. While a regular Gauss-Bessel beam exhibits a natural axial intensity variation, adding a Gaussian modulation to the axicon’s phase function homogenizes the axial intensity distribution – delivering a long, uniform propagation profile ideal for advanced laser processing.
