Abstract

An experimental study is carried out to investigate a special kind of three-dimensional intensity distribution of a partially coherent optical beam known as optical bottle beam produced by using an annular aperture and lens combination (Lens Aperture System). In this paper, we are demonstrating the experimental results of our observations. The investigation also includes the effects of coherence modulation and central obstruction of the annular aperture (used in Lens Aperture System) on the resultant partially coherent optical bottle beam. The method discussed in this paper is simple and cost effective.
