The Self-Healing Peculiarity of Airy Beams Propagation in Free-Space
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have theoretically and numerically investigated the self-healing peculiarity of Airy beams truncated by different decay factors. The self-healing dynamic processes of truncated Airy beams are different from that of blocked Airy beams. The wing with large truncation of Airy beam can propagate much longer distance than that of small truncated wing. When one of the wings is complete truncated, the Airy beam propagates along a straight line and neither self-bending nor self-reconstruction can be observed. The Poynting vector and energy flow are conducted to gain an insight into the physical mechanism.

Propagation of radial Airy array beams through atmospheric turbulence
Expressions for the average intensity of both phase-locked and non-phase-locked Airy array beams propagating through atmospheric turbulence are derived based on the extended Huygens–Fresnel principle. The evolution of the average intensity distribution of both phase-locked and non-phase-locked Airy array beams during propagation in atmospheric turbulence is examined by numerical examples and is...
متن کاملGuided Self-Accelerating Airy Beams—A Mini-Review
Owing to the nondiffracting, self-accelerating, and self-healing properties, Airy beams of different nature have become a subject of immense interest in the past decade. Their interesting properties have opened doors to many diverse applications. Consequently, the questions of how to properly design spatial manipulation of Airy beams or how to implement them in different setups have become impo...
متن کاملContinuous cubic phase microplates for generating high-quality Airy beams with strong deflection.
Owing to the distinguishing properties of nondiffraction, self-healing, and transverse acceleration, Airy beams have attracted much attention in the past decade. To date, a simple approach for exquisitely fabricating cubic phase plates with both continuous variation of phase and micro size still remains challenging, which limits the generation of high-quality Airy beams for integrated micro-opt...
متن کاملTheoretical Study of Large-Angle Bending Transport of Microparticles by 2D Acoustic Half-Bessel Beams
Conventional microparticle transports by light or sound are realized along a straight line. Recently, this limit has been overcome in optics as the growing up of the self-accelerating Airy beams, which are featured by many peculiar properties, e.g., bending propagation, diffraction-free and self-healing. However, the bending angles of Airy beams are rather small since they are only paraxial sol...
متن کاملGeneration and near-field imaging of Airy surface plasmons.
We demonstrate experimentally the generation and near-field imaging of nondiffracting surface waves, plasmonic Airy beams, propagating on the surface of a gold metal film. The Airy plasmons are excited by an engineered nanoscale phase grating, and demonstrate significant beam bending over their propagation. We show that the observed Airy plasmons exhibit self-healing properties, suggesting nove...
