Observation and analysis of generalized higher-order Bessel-Gauss beams in optical resonators

We propose and experimentally demonstrate new beam solutions in form of azimuthally symmetric higher-order Bessel-Gauss beams. We experimentally observe these beams as higher-order eigenmodes in optical resonators consisting of aspheric mirrors.
