Propagation characteristics of zero field truncation of COS beam

The central spot of COS beam (CS-COS) can be obtained from COS beam by using the zero field truncation technique. The transversal intensity distributions of CS-COS through three different kinds of aperture functions are simulated numerically from the near field to the far field. It is shown that the CS-COS has the property of eliminating the diffraction fringes in the whole propagation process if a suitable aperture is introduced.
