| Abstract | The pseudo-nondiffracting behavior of optical caustic beams makes them potentially useful in precise component alignment at CERN. This paper introduces an innovative method for generating one and two-dimensional symmetrical Airy-like beams, known as Layer beams, utilizing a specific configuration of plano-convex cylindrical lenses. Simulations and experimental results have validated this method, demonstrating its potential for scalable and cost-effective beam production with tunable properties, making it practical for a wide range of scientific applications. |
