Airy beams represent an important class of non‐diffracting waves which can be realized on
a flat surface. Being generated in the form of surface‐plasmon polaritons, such Airy …

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 …

We study accelerating and decelerating shape-preserving temporal Airy wave-packets
propagating in dispersive media. We explore the effects of causality, and find that, whereas …

The polarization state of a surface mode is a hybrid between linear and elliptical states,
meaning that although one of its electric-and magnetic-field components is linearly …

We propose a way of generating Bessel-like non-diffracting beams based on the
superposition of multiple Airy beams. We also demonstrate, through numerical simulations …

We investigate the propagation dynamics of radially symmetric, circular Airy beams through
a medium having linear optical potentials. On the basis of analytic expressions and …

Self-accelerating waves in conservative systems, which usually feature slowly decaying
tails, such as Airy waves, have drawn great interest in studies of quantum and classical …

We show that by employing two incoherent counter-propagating Airy beams, we can
manipulate a submicron sphere to spin around a transverse axis. We can control not only …

With their intriguing diffraction-free, self-accelerating, and self-healing properties, Airy
plasmons show promise for use in the trapping, transporting, and sorting of micro-objects …

According to the definition of the degree of paraxiality for a monochromatic light beam,
analytical expressions for the degree of paraxiality of coherent and partially coherent Airy …
