Abstract

A collimated light beam at the output of a semiconductor laser module was studied experimentally. The intensity distribution in the transverse cross section of this beam did not have infinite-order axial symmetry and varied with the longitudinal coordinate. The experimental spatial intensity distributions in light fields formed by a conical lens (axicon) from radiation of He–Ne and semiconducting lasers were compared. Criteria were proposed for objective numerical quality assessment of zero-order Bessel light beams. The quality parameters of Bessel light fields formed by the axicon from radiation of He–Ne and semiconducting lasers were obtained from trial calculations.
