Over the last dozen years, the area of accelerating waves has made considerable advances
not only in terms of fundamentals and experimental demonstrations, but also in connection …

Partially coherent beams hold much promise in free-space optical communications for their
resistance to the deleterious effects of atmospheric turbulence. We describe the basic …

We report an experimental realization of a plasmonic Airy beam, which is generated
thoroughly on a silver surface. With a carefully designed nanoarray structure, such Airy …

Partially coherent beam is preferred in many applications, such as free-space optical
communications, remote sensing, active laser radar systems, etc., due to its resistance to the …

Vortex beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM), which feature helical wavefronts,
have been regarded as an alternative degree of freedom for free-space optical (FSO) …

Recently, a specific type of nondiffracting beams named self-accelerating Airy beams has
attracted a great deal of interest due to their unique properties and many proposed …

An analytical expression for the optical field of an Airy beam partially blocked by an opaque
obstacle is derived. The self-healing properties of the Airy beam are studied and discussed …

The evolution of Airy beam intensity distribution in turbulence is examined. Results show
that the centroid position and skewness of an Airy beam are independent on turbulence …

Orbital angular momentum (OAM) mode crosstalk induced by atmospheric turbulence is a
challenging phenomenon commonly occurring in OAM-based free-space optical (FSO) …

In this Letter, we demonstrate the general propagation dynamics of an Airy beam (AiB)
carrying unit phase singularity, ie, optical vortices (OVs). For the OV with a unit charge …
