Self-healing of structured light: a review

Y Shen, S Pidishety, I Nape, A Dudley - Journal of Optics, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
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 …
