Radial Structure of OAM-Carrying Fundamental X-Waves

We investigate the spectral degree of freedom of OAM-carrying localized waves and its influence on their transverse intensity distribution. In particular, we focus our attention on exponentially decaying spectra, which are very tightly connected to fundamental X-waves; we then show how it is possibl...

description We investigate the spectral degree of freedom of OAM-carrying localized waves and its influence on their transverse intensity distribution. In particular, we focus our attention on exponentially decaying spectra, which are very tightly connected to fundamental X-waves; we then show how it is possible to structure their transverse intensity distribution, thus creating a radial structure similar to that of Bessel beams.
