- The paper presents modelling and mathematical analysis of using Bessel beams for long distance free space communications. Bessel beams are non-diffracting so communications systems using them could potentially have a greatly reduced power loss. It is significant because previously Bessel beams had been limited to the laboratory scales. This is the first published paper to examine the possibility of using them over a distance ranging from a few kilometres and all the way to space through the atmosphere, and to look at the complexities of the practical implementations such as the optical design of the ground station.
