Structured beams invariant to coherent diffusion
Slava Smartsev, Ronen Chriki, David Eger +2
Bessel beams are renowned members of a wide family of non-diffracting (propagation-invariant) fields. We report on experiments showing that non-diffracting fields are also immune t…

Transverse drag of slow light in moving atomic vapor
Yakov Solomons, Chitram Banerjee, Slava Smartsev +4
The Fresnel-Fizeau effect of transverse drag, in which the trajectory of a light beam changes due to transverse motion of the optical medium, is usually extremely small and hard to…

Coherent diffusion of partial spatial coherence
Ronen Chriki, Slava Smartsev, David Eger +2
Partially coherent light is abundant in many physical systems, and its propagation properties are well understood. Here we extend current theory of propagation of partially coheren…
