axicons
An axicon is a type of optical element that is used to transform a beam of light into a ring-shaped beam, or an annular beam. It is typically made from glass or other transparent materials and has a conical surface. The axicon's unique geometry allows it to focus light in a manner different from conventional lenses.
The primary function of an axicon is to convert a collimated input beam into an output beam
Axicons are used in various applications, including optical trapping, laser material processing, and medical imaging. In
Axicons can be designed to have different properties, such as varying cone angles or refractive indices, to
In summary, axicons are specialized optical elements that transform light beams into ring-shaped patterns. Their unique
