Space-time wave packets
Murat Yessenov, Layton A. Hall, Kenneth L. Schepler +1
"Space-time" (ST) wave packets constitute a broad class of pulsed optical fields that are rigidly transported in linear media without diffraction or dispersion, and are therefore p…
Refraction of space-time wave packets: III. Experiments at oblique incidence
Murat Yessenov, Alyssa M. Allende Motz, Basanta Bhaduri +1
The refraction of space-time (ST) wave packets at planar interfaces between non-dispersive, homogeneous, isotropic dielectrics exhibit fascinating phenomena, even at normal inciden…
Refraction of space-time wave packets: II. Experiments at normal incidence
Alyssa M. Allende Motz, Murat Yessenov, Basanta Bhaduri +1
The refraction of space-time (ST) wave packets offers many fascinating surprises with respect to conventional pulsed beams. In paper (I) of this sequence, we described theoreticall…
Refraction of space-time wave packets: I. Theoretical principles
Murat Yessenov, Basanta Bhaduri, Ayman F. Abouraddy
Space-time (ST) wave packets are pulsed optical beams endowed with precise spatio-temporal structure by virtue of which they exhibit unique and useful characteristics, such as prop…
Isochronous space-time wave packets
Alyssa A. Allende Motz, Murat Yessenov, Ayman F. Abouraddy
The group delay incurred by an optical wave packet depends on its path length. Therefore, when a wave packet is obliquely incident on a planar homogeneous slab, the group delay upo…
Engineering the optical vacuum: Arbitrary magnitude, sign, and order of dispersion in free space using space-time wave packets
Murat Yessenov, Layton A. Hall, Ayman F. Abouraddy
Spatial structuring of an optical pulse can lead in some cases upon free propagation to changes in its temporal profile. For example, introducing conventional angular dispersion in…
