A general family of structured Gaussian beams naturally emerges from a consideration of families of rays. These ray families, with the property that their transverse profile is invariant upon propagation (except for cycling of the rays and…
Spatio-temporal shaping of electron beams is a bold frontier in electron microscopy, enabling new routes toward spatial-resolution enhancement, selective probing, low-dose imaging and faster data acquisition. Over the last decade, shaping…

We calculate spectra of radiation produced by a relativistic particle in the presence of one-dimensional Langmuir turbulence which might be generated by a streaming instability in the plasma, in particular, in the shock front or at the…
In the present work, we demonstrate that structured light beams are constituted by two traveling waves which transverse components are in opposite directions, that is, incoming and outgoing from the axis of propagation. These waves result…
Bessel beams' great importance in optics lies in that these propagate without spreading and can reconstruct themselves behind an obstruction placed across their path. However, a rigorous wave-optics explanation of the latter property is…
