Abstract
We give a simple interpretation of a recently noted phenomenon, namely , the resemblance between the axial intensity of an apertured Bessel b eam and the squared profile of the windowing function. this effect can be used to control the axial behavior of the beam, and we present exa mples for the case of a flattened Gaussian profile as aperturing funct ion.
