of light in frequency-tuned photonic moiré lattices, both in the zero-order and the higher …

Diffractive guiding of waves by a periodic array of slits

D Weisman, CM Carmesin, GG Rozenman… - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
We show that in order to guide waves, it is sufficient to periodically truncate their edges. The
modes supported by this type of wave guide propagate freely between the slits, and the …

Cosine beam: diffraction-free propagation and self-healing

A Bencheikh, S Chabou, OC Boumeddine, H Bekkis… - JOSA A, 2020 - opg.optica.org
In this paper we revisit the nondiffracting properties of the cosine beam (CB). Since the CB is
of infinite extension and not physically realizable, we use two apodization pupils to manage …
