Owing to its peculiar non‐diffraction, self‐acceleration, and self‐healing properties, the Airy
beam has attracted a great deal of attention in various fields such as micro‐manipulation …

Cutting glass to shape with ultra short laser pulses is nowadays a well established industrial
process. Pulses with an elongated straight focal volume (line focus) are used to modify the …

Structured beams, conventionally generated through the spatial mode conversion of the
Gaussian laser beams, have attracted great interest in recent years. Optical parametric …

This paper analyzes the Airy phase distribution and theoretical expression in cylindrical
coordinates, and verifies its feasibility using vector diffraction theory. The focus mode …

Set in the wide and continuously growing field of glass processing with ultra short laser
pulses, this work deals with the cutting and edge shaping of glass sheets. Laser beams with …

Optical beam shaping, the ability to manipulate the spatial profile of a light beam both in
transverse and longitudinal direction, plays a pivotal role in a wide array of applications …
