Abstract

In order to further study the diffraction properties of a Bessel beam and Bessel-Gaussian beam,the scalar diffraction theory is employed in this paper to calculate the axial and transverse intensity distributions of the plane wave,Gaussian beam,Bessel and Bessel-Gaussian beam,respectively,when they propagate through a circular aperture.The properties of diffractive propagation of the Bessel and Bessel-Gaussian beams are summarized by comparing the diffractive field distributions of the well known plane wave and Gaussian beam.
