Fourier Transform of Annular Beams

Optics 2009-04-14 v1

Abstract

Fourier transform is applied to annular beams of simplified flat two-level geometry: bright outer ring with a darker core. The pattern of focal beam profile (i.e. far field) is calculated and characterized with respect of its intensity structure. Specific behavior is observed for extreme annularity values.
