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 …

This book deals with theoretical bases of the modern optics division concerned with
coherent light fields with singularities characterized by phase uncertainty. Singular light …

In this letter, we reported the experimental observation of a photonic hook (PH)—a type of
near-field curved light generated at the output of a dielectric cuboid, featuring a broken …

The light propagation in the medium normally experiences diffraction, dispersion, and
scattering. Studying the light propagation is a century-old problem as the photons may …

We investigate numerically the interactions of two in-phase and out-of-phase Airy beams
and nonlinear (NL) accelerating beams in Kerr and saturable NL media, in one transverse …

We investigate numerically interactions between two in-phase or out-of-phase Airy beams
and nonlinear accelerating beams in Kerr and saturable nonlinear media in one transverse …

We experimentally demonstrate self-accelerating Bessel-like optical beams propagating
along arbitrary trajectories in free space. With computer generated holography, such beams …

We introduce a class of light field that angularly accelerates during propagation. We show
that the acceleration (deceleration) may be controlled by adjustment of a single parameter …

Ultrafast laser materials processing has undergone an important change with the
development of non-diffracting beams. These beams enable overcoming many of the …

Self-accelerating beams—shape-preserving bending beams—are attracting great interest,
offering applications in many areas such as particle micromanipulation, microscopy …
