Self-reconstruction of a distorted nondiffracting beam

It is shown that a nondiffracting beam disturbed by an obstacle is able to reconstruct its initial amplitude profile under free propagation. Simple theoretical explanation, numerical simulation and experimental verification of the effect are presented.
