Optical Bottle Shaping Using Axicons with Amplitude or Phase Apodization

We investigate the formation of single and multiple optical bottle beams on the optical axis using a diffractive axicon with amplitude or phase apodization. The proposed approach allows one to control the location and the contrast of the boundaries of the generated dark intensity regions on the opti...
