OBJECTIVES
• Bessel EM modes are studied within the general
framework of quantum optics.
The basic
dynamical operators are identified and their
algebraic properties are studied.
• As a mean to measure these dynamical properties, the transition probability for the emission of
a Bessel photon by an atomic system is
calculated within first order perturbation theory.
This permits to analyze the feasibility of
observing new rotational effects of twisted light
on atoms.
Bessel modes are propagation invariant
waves of cylindrical symmetry
•They can be generated with holograms,
optical light modulators and other optical
dispositives like axicons.
