Over the last dozen years, the area of accelerating waves has made considerable advances
not only in terms of fundamentals and experimental demonstrations, but also in connection …

We present the nondiffracting spatially accelerating solutions of the Maxwell equations.
Such beams accelerate in a circular trajectory, thus generalizing the concept of Airy beams …

We show that new families of diffraction-free nonparaxial accelerating optical beams can be
generated by considering the symmetries of the underlying vectorial Helmholtz equation …

Some predictions of Einstein's theory of general relativity (GR) still elude observation, hence
analogous systems, such as optical set-ups, have been suggested as platforms for …

Self-accelerating beams—shape-preserving bending beams—are attracting great interest,
offering applications in many areas such as particle micromanipulation, microscopy …

We investigate the spatially optical solitons shedding from Airy beams and anomalous
interactions of Airy beams in nonlocal nonlinear media by means of direct numerical …

We investigate to the best of our knowledge the first time the interactions of in-phase and out-
of-phase Airy beams in Kerr, saturable and nonlocal nonlinear media with fourth-order …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3-D) light solitons in space–time, referred to as light bullets,
have many novel properties and wide applications. Here we theoretically show how the …

The past decade has witnessed remarkable progress in wavefront shaping, including
shaping of beams in free space, of plasmonic wavepackets and of electronic wavefunctions …

We present the first experimental observation of accelerating beams in curved space. More
specifically, we demonstrate, experimentally and theoretically, shape-preserving …
