Terahertz imaging technology has been widely used in various fields. In continuous-wave terahertz imaging system, when the large size object is located at the unfocused position, Bessel beam with non-diffractive properties show its large depth of focus advantage over Gaussian beam. Bessel beam can be generated by the axicon, which has high conversion efficiency. The non-diffraction distance and the main lobe size of the Bessel beam depend on the parameters of the axicon and incident light wavelength. We analyzed that the influence on the axial two-dimensional intensity distribution of a zero-order Bessel beam by changing the axicon parameters and the incident Gaussian beam size. Experimentally, the axicon with different parameters were fabricated using different materials. Then the two-dimensional intensity distribution of the Bessel beam in the axial and transverse direction were recorded and analyzed. The experimental results is basically consistent with the theoretical ones.

The axicon is the simplest and most effective optical element for generating the zero-order Bessel-like beam. The zero-order Bessel-like beam, which has the characteristics of small spot size, high brightness, good direction, and large collimation distance, can be applied to optical micromanipulation and power transmission. In this paper, we proposed and designed a structure for phase manipulation based on parallel-plate waveguides that can be used to realize the functionality of the axicon in the terahertz (THz) region. Meanwhile, we characterized the influence of the cone angle of the axicon and the waist radius of the incident Gaussian beam on the generated zero-order Bessel-like beam by simulation. The planar structure, consisting of a parallel stack of thin copper plates, can be easily fabricated to fulfill the phase requirement to realize the zero-order Bessel-like beam and also can be utilized in THz imaging systems, THz sensing systems, THz communication systems, etc.
