Abstract

In the article ‘Miniaturized photogenerated electro-optic axicon lens Gaussian-to-Bessel beam conversion’ published in Applied Optics 56, 10 (2017), we experimentally demonstrate an electro-optic Gaussian-to-Bessel beam-converter miniaturized down to a \(30 \times 30\,{\upmu }\)m pixel in a KLTN paraelectric crystal.
