<p>In order to generate a Bessel beam at a location remote from an optical arrangement, the optical arrangement includes, a first beam converging element which is illuminated by a collimated beam, a second beam converging element which is illuminated by a beam which has passed through the first beam converging element. The first and second beam converging elements are arranged in a manner to radiate a ring beam which is parallel with an optical axis. A third beam converging element is further provided which is illuminated by the ring beam. The third beam converging element is arranged to generate a non-diffractive beam at a location which is remote therefrom. Further, an improvement of a bar code reader is disclosed, which includes a laser source for producing a laser beam. A laser beam deflecting member is provided to deflect the laser beam so as to form a scan pattern comprised of two scan lines. The two scan lines are oriented at a predetermined angle with respect to one another. A combination of photo sensor and electric circuitry is provided to detect the beginning of the scan pattern and to discriminate between the two scan lines. <IMAGE></p> |
