Article Abstract
The generation of multiple vortex cones using an annular aperture array and a spatial light modulator (SLM) is studied. The direct downscale imaging of an SLM on the surface of an annular aperture enables the direct-phase modulation of the annular aperture. It is experimentally demonstrated that the direct-phase modulation of an annular aperture array can control both the topological charge and the horizontal positions of multiple vortex cones simultaneously.

Bessel beams are exact solutions to the isotropic/homogeneous wave equation. In theory, they can propagate to infinite distance without diffraction. In practice, when produced with a finite aperture, they have a very large depth of field, i.

To our knowledge, a novel synchronous multi-wavelength interferometric technique is introduced. The aspherical surface profile is measured by focusing a multi-wavelength beam at various positions along the optical axis using a dispersive lens, thereby generating a series of spherical waves with varying curvatures. A comprehensive analysis of the operational mechanism of dispersive lenses in aspherical surface metrology is conducted, culminating in the design principles for their axial focal points.

The working band covers the mid-infrared band (3-5 µm) and the long-infrared band (7-9.5 µm); the field of view angle is (28-80)×360; and the head unit of the lens is composed of two mirrors and a Ge protection window.

This study presents the design of a miniaturized dual-view objective lens system for electronic endoscopy. By modifying the second reflective surface of the panorama annular lens, the issue of limited light aperture in the forward-view structure of existing dual-view panoramic systems can be addressed. The forward-view structure captures light within a ±45 range, whereas the side-view structure covers (45-85)×360, resulting in a total field of view (FOV) of ±85 with a compactness ratio of 1.

This is done by generating the Bessel beam in Fourier space using an annular aperture while adding a radial grating to the aperture with a tunable periodicity. This method can be useful for various applications, such as microscopy and optical trapping.
