Abstract

This paper introduces a Bessel beam launcher uti-lizing a Luneburg lens inspired gradient index lens. The inherent spherical symmetry of the lens lends itself well to switched beam scanning and multi-beam synthesis. A point design is implemented and shown to generate both single and multiple non-diffracting beams over a field of view with a cone angle of at least 135°.
