Space-time wave packets

M Yessenov, LA Hall, KL Schepler… - Advances in Optics and …, 2022 - opg.optica.org
Space-time wave packets (STWPs) constitute a broad class of pulsed optical fields that are
rigidly transported in linear media without diffraction or dispersion, and are therefore …

Femtosecond filamentation in transparent media

A Couairon, A Mysyrowicz - Physics reports, 2007 - Elsevier
This paper introduces and discusses the main aspects of ultrashort laser pulse filamentation
in various transparent media such as air (gases), transparent solids and liquids. The …

Light beats the spread:“non‐diffracting” beams

M Mazilu, DJ Stevenson… - Laser & Photonics …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Propagation characteristics of Airy beams: dependence upon spatial coherence and wavelength

JE Morris, M Mazilu, J Baumgartl, T Čižmár… - Optics express, 2009 - opg.optica.org
We generate a broadband “white light” Airy beam and characterize the dependence of the
beam properties on wavelength. Experimental results are presented showing that the …

Non-diffracting broadband incoherent space–time fields

M Yessenov, B Bhaduri, HE Kondakci, M Meem… - Optica, 2019 - opg.optica.org
Space–time (ST) wave packets are coherent pulsed beams that propagate diffraction free
and dispersion free by virtue of tight correlations introduced between their spatial and …

An optical nanotrap array movable over a milimetre range

T Čižmár, M Šiler, P Zemánek - Applied Physics B, 2006 - Springer
We present the theoretical and experimental study of nondiffracting Bessel beams as a
device for optical manipulation and confinement of nanoparticles. We express analytically …

Generation of achromatic Bessel beams using a compensated spatial light modulator

J Leach, GM Gibson, MJ Padgett, E Esposito… - Optics express, 2006 - opg.optica.org
We report the creation of white-light, achromatic Bessel beams using a spatial light
modulator and a prism to compensate for the dispersion. Unlike the Bessel beam created by …

Generation of optical vortex lattices by in-line phase modulation with partially coherent light

A Shikder, NK Nishchal - JOSA A, 2023 - opg.optica.org
Of late, generation of different kinds of optical vortex lattices has been gaining much
attention due to various applications. Several methods have been reported for the …

Characterization of a refractive logarithmic axicon

I Golub, B Chebbi, D Shaw, D Nowacki - Optics letters, 2010 - opg.optica.org
We show that it is feasible to design and manufacture a refractive logarithmic axicon that
generates a quasi-diffraction-free/Bessel beam with nearly constant beam size and intensity …

Improving depth-of field in broadband THz beams using nondiffractive Bessel beams

A Bitman, I Moshe, Z Zalevsky - Optics letters, 2012 - opg.optica.org
We report new results related to imaging using broadband Bessel-like beams at the
terahertz (THz) domain that were generated by use of axicons and pulsed THz radiation …
