Observation of Accelerating Airy Beams
Frontiers in Optics 2007/Laser Science XXIII/Organic Materials and Devices for Displays and Energy Conversion, 2007We report the first observation of Airy optical beams. This intriguing class of wave packets, initially predicted by Berry and Balazs in 1979, has been realized in both one- and two-dimensional configurations. As demonstrated in our experiments, these Airy beams can exhibit unusual features such as the ability to remain diffraction-free over long ...

Multifocus autofocusing Airy beam
Journal of the Optical Society of America A, 2017We propose a multifocus autofocusing Airy beam (MAAB) by modifying the frequency spectrum of a symmetric Airy beam (SAB) with a Gaussian band elimination filter. Unlike the original SAB, there are four off-axis foci at the autofocusing plane of the MAAB. The MAAB has a better abruptly autofocusing property than the original SAB.

Polarization properties of the Airy beam
Optics Letters, 2015Polarization of paraxial Airy beam solutions of Maxwell's equations and its evolution with propagation have been studied. We experimentally demonstrate the existence of the cross-polarization component of the Airy beam, typical of nonplanar phase fronts, and study its evolution with propagation.

Virtual source for an Airy beam
Optics Letters, 2012We identify a virtual source for generating an Airy wave. A spectral integral expression is derived to describe the Airy wave, which, in the paraxial limit, yields the freely accelerating, nondiffracting, and finite energy Airy beam. From the spectral representation of the Airy wave, the first two orders of nonparaxial corrections to the paraxial Airy ...

2015 USNC-URSI Radio Science Meeting (Joint with AP-S Symposium), 2015
A finite-energy bending Airy beam solution to the paraxial equation in free space was first formulated analytically by Siviloglou and Christodoulides and subsequently demonstrated experimentally by Siviloglou, Broky, Dogariu and Christodoulides. This work was motivated by the infinite-energy (nonspreading) accelerating Airy solution to the Schrudinger ...

Beam wander of an Airy beam with a spiral phase
Journal of the Optical Society of America A, 2014Beam wander of an Airy beam with a spiral phase in turbulence is investigated. Using the Wigner distribution function, analytical expressions for the second-order moments and second central moments of an Airy beam with a spiral phase in turbulence are derived.

Evolution of an Airy beam in turbulence
Optics Letters, 2011The evolution of Airy beam intensity distribution in turbulence is examined. Results show that the centroid position and skewness of an Airy beam are independent on turbulence. When the exponential truncation factor is small, an Airy beam has a long tail on the left side.

Switchable Second‐Harmonic Generation of Airy Beam and Airy Vortex Beam
Advanced Optical Materials, 2020AbstractAiry beam and Airy vortex beam with intriguing characteristics have been extensively studied in linear optics, while their dynamic nonlinear conversion has rarely been explored and remains challenging. Here, through the collaboration of binary mask engineered nonlinear photonic crystal and space‐variant liquid‐crystal geometric phase element ...

We discuss finite-energy and infinite-energy Airy beams of the second kind. Similarly to the well-known paraxial Airy beams, these are accelerating beams that can be analytically described in the Fresnel diffraction zone but propagate along a hyperbolic rather than parabolic path over a certain length, with their “gravity center” shifting linearly with
