We observe optical trapping and manipulation of dielectric microparticles using autofocusing
radially symmetric Airy beams. This is accomplished by exploiting either the inward or …

Over the past 36 years much research has been carried out on Bessel beams (BBs) owing to
their peculiar properties, viz non-diffraction behavior, self-healing nature, possession of well …

We demonstrate analytically and experimentally that a circular abruptly autofocusing (AAF)
Airy beam can be generated by Fourier-transforming an appropriately apodized Bessel …

Accelerating optical beams exhibit exotic features, such as nondiffractive propagation, self-
acceleration, and self-healing, which have led their use in a wide range of photonics …

Owing to their nondiffracting, self-accelerating, and self-healing properties, Airy beams of
different nature have become a subject of immense interest in the past decade. Their …

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 …

By employing the angular spectrum representation, we successfully derive the partial-wave
expansion coefficients of the circular Airy beams (CABs) with different polarizations, based …

Bessel beam is the important member of the family of non-diffracting beams and has many
novel properties which can be used in many areas. However, the source of Bessel beam …

During the process of Bessel beam generation in free space, spatiotemporal optical wave-
packets with tunable group velocities and accelerations can be created by deforming pulse …

In general, singular acoustic beams travel in a straight line and expand during propagation,
which limits the scope of their applications. We present a method for generating paraxial …
