Airy beams are solutions to the paraxial Helmholtz equation known for exhibiting shape invariance along their self-accelerated propagation in free space. These two properties are associated with the fact that they are not square integrable,…
Airy beams are known for displaying shape invariance and self-acceleration along the transverse direction while they propagate forwards. Although these properties could be associated with the beam coherence, it has been revealed that they…
Spatially accelerating beams that are solutions to the Maxwell equations may propagate along incomplete circular trajectories, after which diffraction broadening takes over and the beams spread out. Taking these truncated Bessel wave fields…
A sharp bending scheme for the self-collimation of acoustic waves is proposed by simply truncating the sonic crystals. An all-angle and wide-band 90{\deg}-bending wave guide is demonstrated with nearly perfect transmissions for Gaussian…
In next-generation wireless networks, the combination of electrically large radiating apertures and high-frequency transmission extends the radiating near-field region around the transmitter. In this region, unlike in the far field, the…
A new class of nonparaxial accelerating optical waves is introduced. These are beams with a Bessel-like profile that are capable of shifting laterally along fairly arbitrary trajectories as the wave propagates in free space. The concept…
In this work, we report the observation of a new type of near-field curved acoustic beam different from the Airy-family beams both through simulations and experiment. This new self-bending acoustical beam is generate from a rectangular…
The propagation characteristics of Airy beams is investigated and fully described under the traveling waves approach analogous to that used for non-diffracting Bessel beams. This is possible when noticing that Airy functions are in fact…
With the intriguing properties of diffraction-free, self-accelerating, and self-healing, Airy plasmons are promising to be used in the trapping, transporting, and sorting of micro-objects, imaging, and chip scale signal processing. However,…
New forms of electron beams have been intensively investigated recently, including vortex beams carrying orbital angular momentum, as well as Airy beams propagating along a parabolic trajectory. Their traits may be harnessed for…
We study Bessel beams of two-level atoms that are driven by a linearly polarized laser field. Starting from the Schroedinger equation, we determine the states of two-level atoms in a plane-wave field respecting propagation directions both…
Acoustic metamaterials have exhibited extraordinary possibilities to manipulate the propagation of the sound wave. Up to now, it is still a challenge to control the propagation of the sound wave in an arbitrary pathway of a network. Here,…
We present the spatially accelerating solutions of the Maxwell equations. Such non-paraxial beams accelerate in a circular trajectory, thus generalizing the concept of Airy beams. For both TE and TM polarizations, the beams exhibit…
New solutions for Bessel electromagnetic beams, propagating along the light cones, are investigated. Of the variety of structures possible in the light cone variables, the one involving a product of Airy functions is discussed in detail.…
Acoustically actuated sessile bubbles can be used as a tool to manipulate microparticles, vesicles and cells. In this work, using acoustically actuated sessile semi-cylindrical microbubbles, we demonstrate experimentally that finite-sized…
Structured light has revolutionized optical particle manipulation and nano-scale material processing. In particular, propagation-invariant structured light fields, such as Bessel beams, have enabled applications that require robust…
We present a class of diffraction-free partially coherent beams each member of which is comprised of a finite power, non-accelerating Airy bump residing on a statistically homogeneous, Gaussian-correlated background. We examine free-space…
Optical beams with certain asymmetric profiles, such as the Airy beam, can depart from rectilinear propagation and instead travel along curved (typically parabolic) trajectories. Here we show that sculpting the spatiotemporal spectrum of…
We propose and demonstrate a novel vortex Airy beam which is a superposition of an Airy beam and its laterally sheared beam with a $\pi/2$ phase shift. This new-type of vortex Airy beam exhibits stable propagation dynamics, wherein its…
Over the last dozen of years, the area of accelerating waves has made considerable advances not only in terms of fundamentals and experimental demonstrations but also in connection to a wide range of applications. Starting from the…
