Abstract:
The paper considers the possibilities of regeneration of various laser beams after an obstacle, which can be a microparticle captured by this beam. A comparative analysis of the regeneration properties of modes of Bessel, Gauss-Laguerre and other laser beams containing angular harmonics is performed. Such beams are generated most effectively by using phase diffraction optical elements. The experimental results of the regeneration of Bessel beams, including nonzero order ones, are presented.

Keywords:
harmonics-containing,laser beam, microparticle, mode Bessel, Gauss-Laguerre, diffraction optical element.
