Figure 5. Acoustic axicon for the non-diffracting Bessel beam.

Figure 5

(a) Schematic diagram of the design of acoustic axicon. The green cone-like line with base angle Inline graphic is the desired equiphase surface for the acoustic axicon so that the phase shift at Inline graphic should be proportional to the length of the red line Inline graphic. Here, the half-height of the axicon h is selected to be 100 cm. (b) The theoretical continuous phase shift (red dots) and the discrete phase shift provided by the metasurface (blue squares) along the y direction. (c) Spatial distribution of the intensity field Inline graphic for the designed axicon with Inline graphic. (d) Transverse cross-section of the intensity profile at x = 240 cm from the metasurfaces within the DOF.
