Dark beams are wave fields carrying information in dark regions. We experimentally demonstrate dark beams that maintain a constant notch shape and size along a predetermined domain in free space. The energy is concentrated around the dark region with negligible sidelobes. These beams are generated with low-information-content phase-only diffractive elements in an on-axis configuration.
