Self-healing of light refers to the ability of a light field to recover its structure after being
damaged by a partial obstruction placed in its propagation path. Here, we will give a …

We present a progress overview focused on the recent theoretical and experimental
advances in the area of soliton manipulation in optical lattices. Optical lattices offer the …

Laser Beam Sha**: Theory and Techniques addresses the theory and practice of every
important technique for lossless beam sha**. Complete with experimental results as well …

We demonstrate both theoretically and experimentally nonparaxial Mathieu and Weber
accelerating beams, generalizing the concept of previously found accelerating beams. We …

Microscopic imaging in three dimensions enables numerous biological and clinical
applications. However, high-resolution optical imaging preserved in a relatively large depth …

The first article by Turunen and Friberg deals with a class of fields with propagation-invariant
properties such as the optical intensity distribution. Coherent and partially coherent …

Abstract “Non‐diffracting” beams do not spread as they propagate. This property is useful in
many areas. Here, the theory, generation, properties, and applications of various “non …

We demonstrate a universal approach to designing and generating non-diffracting
structured light beams with arbitrary shapes. Such light beams can be tailored by …

One of the most prominent features of quantum entanglement is its invariability under local
unitary transformations, which implies that the degree of entanglement or nonseparability …

We introduce another type of Pearcey beam, namely, dual Pearcey (DP) beams, based on
the Pearcey function of catastrophe theory. DP beams are experimentally generated by …
