本文对文献中提出的贝塞尔光束的可能应用作了较全面的分析和评述，包括在能量传输、激光打孔、精密准直、小物体的测量、非线性光学、导航和测距、条形码读出、带电粒子加速中的应用，我们的分析表明，贝塞尔光束的许多提议中的应用实际上是不成立的，如能量传输、激光打孔、非线性光学和导航等，对带电粒子的加速问题作了修正     

Theoretical prediction and experimental validation of the angle-of-arrival probability density of a laser beam in a strong plane-flame turbulence

The propagation of a laser beam through a plane turbulent flame is studied using geometrical optics approximation. The random fluctuations of the refractive index caused by a strong thermal turbulence in the flame create random perturbations of the laser beam direction. From the Markovian process model applied along the whole random path of the beam, the theoretical probability density of the laser beam angle-of-arrival is derived from the analytical solution of the Einstein-Fokker-Kolmogorov equation, which we have determined in terms of a series expansion of spherical harmonics. An experimental setup and a method for measuring this probability density are described. The experimental results obtained are shown to agree with the theoretical predictions.
