Generation of Bessel vortex beams in the subterahertz range using reflecting diffractive optical elements by V.V. Gerasimov, N.D. Osintseva, V.S. Pavelyev, A.N. Agafonov

“…The elements are fabricated by micromilling in a polished duralumin substrate and by tin casting, and tested using a backward wave oscillator (wavelength λ = 855 µm). When using the micromilled element, Bessel vortex beams are shown to be generated and retain a Bessel intensity profile at a distance of 20–50 mm from the reflecting element, which is in good agreement with the results of numerical simulation. …”
