Airy beams have gained attention due to their exotic properties of seemingly bending around obstacles, self-healing and being resistant to diffraction. Regular Airy beams are often generated by imposing cubic spatial phase on a Gaussian beam and Fourier transforming the resulting field with a lens. In this paper, we analyze the so-called hyperbolic Airy (HA) beams that are formed behind the cubic phase element, i.e. with no Fourier lens in the setup. We use an ultra-broadband supercontinuum…

A new form of laser beam is theoretically proposed, named the finite-energy Airy-Lorentz-Gaussian (ALG) beam, which can be decomposed into an exponentially modified Airy function in the x direction and a Lorentz -Gaussianfunction in the y direction.

Airy beam with a hyperbolic trajectory

Arbitrary accelerating micron-scale caustic beams in two and three dimensions.

By applying additional and rotational spatial phase, caustic-bounded sheet and volume beams are generated, which both show evidence of the recently predicted effect of abrupt autofocussing and proof of principle demonstration of how this technique may yield new degrees of freedom in both nonlinear optics and femtosecond micromachining.

Wave analysis of airy beams

The asymptotically exact analysis utilizes the method of uniform geometrical optics (UGO), and it is shown that the beam along the curved propagation trajectory is not generated by contributions from the main lobe in the aperture, i.e., it is not described by a local wave-dynamics along this trajectory.

This paper derives ultra wideband (UWB) Airy Pulsed Beams (AiPB's), which are the extension of the AiB's into the time domain and introduces a frequency scaling of the initial aperture field that renders the ray skeleton of the field, including the caustic, frequency independent, thus ensuring that all the frequency components propagate along the same curved trajectory.

Spatiotemporal airy light bullets in the linear and nonlinear regimes.

It is shown that the Airy(3) light bullets are robust up to the high intensity regime, since they are capable of healing the nonlinearly induced distortions of their spatiotemporal profile.

Non-diffracting beams for label-free imaging through turbid media.
