Bessel; GaussianAbstract
We present a new family of Bessel solutions of the paraxial equation. Such solutions keep their form during propagation because of a quadratic phase factor that makes them scaled propagation invariant fields. When a Gaussian support is incorporated, the solution loses its invariant properties, although, over some volume, it closely resembles a scaled propagation invariant field. The Bessel beams we introduce have the particularity that they present a very strong focusing effect and do not necessarily require a Gaussian support.
