Beams with fast and continuously-tunable orbital angular momentum (OAM) have potential
applications in classical and quantum optical communications, sensing, and in the study of …

A generalized family of scalar structured Gaussian modes including helical-Ince–Gaussian
(HIG) and Hermite–Laguerre–Gaussian (HLG) beams is presented with physical insight …

Laguerre–Gaussian beams are structured light beams with a donut-shaped symmetric
intensity profile and a helical phase profile. The beam profile is defined by a quantized …

Here, we study asymmetric Kummer beams, whose complex amplitude is proportional to the
Kummer function (a degenerate hypergeometric function). These beams are exact solutions …

We present on-axis, aperture averaged scintillation, and bit error rate performance of
Mathieu–Gauss beams (MGB). We model atmosphere utilizing random phase screen. Our …

On the basis of the stationary phase principle, we construct a family of shaping nondiffracting
structured caustic beams with the desired morphology. First, the analytical formula of a …

Alongside the well-known solutions of standard beams, elegant Gaussian beams (eGBs)
have been presented as alternative solutions to the paraxial wave equation. In this work, we …

In this paper, we demonstrate the shaping of an incident Gaussian beam into a tunable
hyperbolic Airy-like beam, using an acoustooptics cell. The latter contains a transparent …

In the recent works on Mathieu beams, the angular spectrums commonly used are even and
odd angular Mathieu functions with an angular variation vary between 0 to 2 π. In this work …

We put forward a robust technique to encode a plethora of arbitrary images as nondiffracting
beams by optimizing their respective phase components. This technique works directly …
