We introduce another type of Pearcey beam, namely, dual Pearcey (DP) beams, based on
the Pearcey function of catastrophe theory. DP beams are experimentally generated by …

In the present work, we demonstrate that structured light beams are constituted by two
traveling waves which transverse components are in opposite directions, that is, incoming …

We show that structured light beams can be customized with a differential operator in Fourier
space. This operator is represented as an algebraic function that acts on a seed beam for …

We demonstrate that Laguerre-Gauss (LG) beams can have a polygonal distribution with the
radial and azimuthal components, the so-called polygonal Laguerre-Gauss beams. These …

In the first part of this work, we introduce a monochromatic solution to the scalar wave
equation in free space, defined by a superposition of monochromatic nondiffracting half …

We introduce a novel and simple modulation technique to tailor optical beams with a
customized amount of orbital angular momentum (OAM). The technique is based on the …

The aim of the present work is to define a Durnin–Whitney beam as a nondiffracting beam
such that its associated caustic locally only has singularities of the fold and cusp types …

We construct and generate symmetric accelerating caustic beams (ACBs) by using 3/2-order
phase-only masks with elliptical contour based on optical caustics and diffraction theory. The …
