Laser powder bed fusion (LBPF), a 3D printing technique commonly used to make metal parts, creates large thermal gradients between areas hit by the laser and areas not being struck. This creates pools ...
The Bessel beam, with a significant depth of field and self-healing characteristics, has been applied in widespread applications, including quantum entanglement, underwater 3D imaging, optical ...
An all fiber-based approach to generating special optical beams, called Bessel beams, could open up new applications in imaging, optical trapping and communications. Bessel beams look quite different ...
