Space-time wave packets

M Yessenov, LA Hall, KL Schepler… - Advances in Optics and …, 2022 - opg.optica.org
Space-time wave packets (STWPs) constitute a broad class of pulsed optical fields that are
rigidly transported in linear media without diffraction or dispersion, and are therefore …

Localized light waves: Paraxial and exact solutions of the wave equation (a review)

AP Kiselev - Optics and Spectroscopy, 2007 - Springer
Simple explicit localized solutions are systematized over the whole space of a linear wave
equation, which models the propagation of optical radiation in a linear approximation. Much …

Propagation-invariant optical fields

J Turunen, AT Friberg - Progress in Optics, 2010 - Elsevier
The first article by Turunen and Friberg deals with a class of fields with propagation-invariant
properties such as the optical intensity distribution. Coherent and partially coherent …

Stationary optical wave fields with arbitrary longitudinal shape by superposing equal frequency Bessel beams: Frozen Waves

M Zamboni-Rached - Optics Express, 2004 - opg.optica.org
In this paper it is shown how one can use Bessel beams to obtain a stationary localized
wave field with high transverse localization, and whose longitudinal intensity pattern can …

Generation and classification of localized waves by Lorentz transformations in Fourier space

P Saari, K Reivelt - Physical Review E, 2004 - APS
The Lorentz transformations of propagation-invariant localized waves (also known as
nondispersive or nondiffracting or undistorted progressive waves) are studied in the …

What is the maximum differential group delay achievable by a space-time wave packet in free space?

M Yessenov, L Mach, B Bhaduri, D Mardani… - Optics express, 2019 - opg.optica.org
The group velocity of 'space-time'wave packets–propagation-invariant pulsed beams
endowed with tight spatio-temporal spectral correlations–can take on arbitrary values in free …

Theory of “frozen waves”: modeling the shape of stationary wave fields

M Zamboni-Rached, E Recami… - JOSA A, 2005 - opg.optica.org
In this work, starting by suitable superpositions of equal-frequency Bessel beams, we
develop a theoretical and experimental methodology to obtain localized stationary wave …

Free-space group-velocity dispersion induced in space-time wave packets by V-shaped spectra

LA Hall, AF Abouraddy - Physical Review A, 2021 - APS
Introducing precise spatiotemporal structure into a pulsed optical field can lead to
remarkable changes with its free propagation.“Space-time”(ST) wave packets, for example …

Nature, diffraction-free propagation via space-time correlations, and nonlinear generation of time-diffracting light beams

MA Porras - Physical Review A, 2018 - APS
We investigate the properties of the recently introduced time-diffracting (TD) beams in free
space. They are shown to be paraxial and quasimonochromatic realizations of …

Energy flow characteristics of vector X-waves

MA Salem, H Bağcı - Optics express, 2011 - opg.optica.org
The vector form of X-Waves is obtained as a superposition of transverse electric and
transverse magnetic polarized field components. It is shown that the signs of all components …
