Generation of attenuation-compensating Airy beams.

چکیده
We present an attenuation-corrected "nondiffracting" Airy beam. The correction factor can be adjusted to deliver a beam that exhibits an adjustable exponential intensity increase or decrease over a finite distance. A digital micromirror device that shapes both amplitude and phase is used to experimentally verify the propagation of these beams through air and partially absorbing media.

Polarization-independent electrically tunable/switchable Airy beam based on polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystal.
Because of their non-diffraction and freely acceleration during propagation, finite energy Airy beams are interesting for application such as optical manipulation, plasma channel generation and optical vortex generation. Especially interesting are tunable/switchable Airy beams, in which the Airy beam tuning by electric field, temperature or optical intensity can be realized. Here we experimenta...
متن کاملPlasmonic Airy beams with dynamically controlled trajectories.
We report the experimental generation and dynamic trajectory control of plasmonic Airy beams (PABs). The PABs are created by directly coupling free-space Airy beams to surface plasmon polaritons through a grating coupler on a metal surface. We show that the ballistic motion of the PABs can be reconfigured in real time by either a computer addressed spatial light modulator or mechanical means.
متن کاملSymmetric Airy beams.
In this Letter a new class of light beam arisen from the symmetrization of the spectral cubic phase of an Airy beam is presented. The symmetric Airy beam exhibits peculiar features. It propagates at initial stages with a single central lobe that autofocuses and then collapses immediately behind the autofocus. Then, the beam splits into two specular off-axis parabolic lobes like those correspond...
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 کاملSwitching the acceleration direction of Airy beams by a nonlinear optical process.
We present experimental control of the acceleration direction of Airy beams generated by nonlinear three-wave mixing processes in an asymmetrically poled nonlinear photonic crystal. Changing the crystal temperature enabled us to switch the phase matching condition between second-harmonic generation and difference-frequency generation in the same nonlinear crystal and thereby to change the accel...
