Abstract
Self-reconstruction properties of the Mathieu beam are studied theoretically and experimentally. By means of the Mathieu-Hankel wave's theory, the self-reconstruction mechanism of Mathieu beam is analyzed. Based on the Fresnel diffraction theory, an analytical expression for the optical field of a Mathieu beam partially blocked by a circular opaque obstacle is derived, and the self-reconstruction process of Mathieu beam is simulated based on the analytical expression. Using a cylindrical lens and an axicon system to generate Mathieu beam, the self-reconstruction properties of the Mathieu beam partially blocked by a circular opaque obstacle on axis and off axis are verified. Experimental results agree well with the theoretical analysis.
