Fourier-invariant autofocused Laguerre-Gaussian beams by V.V. Kotlyar, E.G. Abramochkin, A.A. Kovalev, E.S. Kozlova, A.A. Savelyeva

“…Thus, while maintaining the beam topological charge, the effective diameter of the central dark intensity spot can be increased or decreased by changing the radial index of the Laguerre polynomial. In addition, this beam has the property of autofocusing, that is, at the Rayleigh distance from the waist, the intensity distribution has the form of a light ring (for any value of the radial index) with a minimum diameter and maximum intensity on the ring. …”
