Continuous wave Bessel beams with a strong longitudinal acceleration in free space
A variety of transversely accelerating optical beams, such as Airy, Mathieu, and Weber beams, have been proposed and intensively studied in the past few decades, while longitudinal acceleration of optical beams in free space has been considered much less

Free-space-coupled wavelength-scale disk resonators
Optical microresonators with low quality factor (Q$Q$) can be efficiently excited by and scatter freely propagating optical waves, but those with high Q$Q$ typically cannot.
