The line focusing characteristics of axicon illuminated by non-diffracting Bessel beam was analyzed in terms of Hankel theory and diffraction integral theory, and a new kind of method to generate periodic bottle beam was put forward, i.e. Talbot effect bottle beam was generated by axicon illuminated by non-diffracting Bessel beam. Intensity distributions along the propagation path and the intensity evolution of the bottle beams in a complete period after the axicon illuminated by non-diffracting Bessel beam were simulated numerically. An optical system was designed and Bessel-like beam was obtained by light wave emitted from He-Ne laser passing through axicon after the optical system, and then an axicon was used to focus the Bessel-like beam. Periodic bottle beam was then observed after the axicon, and the spot diagram of two periodics were taken by a CCD camera. Experimental results agree well with the theoretical analysis. This result has a practical significance in multi-plane micro-manipulation and may serve as a guideline in optical micro-control by periodic bottle beam.
