What is an axicon?
Axicons are conical prisms that are defined by the alpha and apex angle. As the distance from the Axicon to the image increases, the diameter of the ring increases, while the line thickness remains constant. Given the input is a collimated beam, you can calculate the outer ring diameter and the line thickness an Axicon will produce.
What is an axicon lens?
An axicon is a conical prism defined by its alpha (α) and apex angles. Unlike a converging lens (e.g. a plano-convex (PCX), double-convex (DCX), or aspheric lens ), which is designed to focus a light source to a single point on the optical axis, an axicon uses interference to create a focal line along the optical axis ( Figure 1 ).
