Abstract
Invariant Bessel–Gauss beams have attracted great interest for transparent material microprocessing applications. The small central peak and elongated focal region of the zeroth-order Bessel–Gauss beam provide advantages in laser micromachining. However, many transparent material processing applications need asymmetric beams to induce directional cracking. Therefore, in this work, we investigate analytically, numerically, and experimentally a beam that was generated by spatially displaced axicon halves, which induces noncylindrical symmetry in the beam phase profile. Analytical solutions were found and verified experimentally. High power and quality beams were generated by writing a needed phase alteration of the beam with a geometric phase element. These beams were able to demonstrate applicability to micromachine processing of transparent material.
