Abstract

In this paper, we present a theoretical study on the generation of spiraling Bessel beams by illuminating a curved fork-shaped hologram (CFH) by spatially coherent dark/antidark Gaussian beams. The amplitude expression of the generated spiraling Bessel beam is obtained by using the framework of the Fresnel diffraction approach and by means of the stationary phase method. Numerical calculations show that upon propagating, the longitudinal intensity of the generated field reaches a threshold maximum value at a distance zmax. It is demonstrated that zmax increases with the increasing of the topological charge p and the order m. The result corresponding to the incident Gaussian beam diffracted by CFH is obtained as a particular case of this study.
