Optical bottle beams (OBBs) are beams of light where a dark region is completely surrounded by light, but so far, this is not necessarily the case. In modern OBBs, created by Bessel and vortex beams, nodal surfaces are present leading to a three-dimensional lobed structure. Must this be the case? We use a combination of computational modeling with novel wavefront retrieval techniques and polarization dependent wavefront manipulation with twin spatial light modulators to explore the creation of computer-generated holographic bottle beams using various methods and whether it is possible to achieve a uniform perfectly enclosed dark region.
