Chebyshev self-imaging from inverse-sampled angular spectra
Layton A. Hall, Murat Yessenov
For nearly two centuries, conventional self-imaging has obeyed a single rule: a periodic wave reconstructs itself at a fixed distance, independent of its bandwidth. Here we show th…
Selective avoidance of multiple line-of-sight obstacles at 130~m using locally bending space-time wave packets
Layton A. Hall, Murat Yessenov, Isabelle Lebron +1
Self-accelerating optical beams follow curved trajectories rather than propagating rectilinearly, which raises the prospect for avoiding line-of-sight (LoS) obstacles blocking the…
Self-healing of the Montgomery pattern
Athena Xu, Oscar de Vries, Alfonso Palmieri +3
Self-healing -- the ability of a structured beam to reconstruct its transverse profile after partial obstruction -- has been demonstrated for diffraction-free beams, where the reco…
Observation of spatially structured Montgomery effect in free space
Murat Yessenov, Luca Sacchi, Alfonso Palmieri +3
We report the first direct observation of the spatially structured Montgomery effect, a lensless self-imaging phenomenon that generalizes the Talbot effect to aperiodic structures,…
Universality and non-differentiability: A new perspective on angular dispersion in optics
Layton A. Hall, Murat Yessenov, Kenneth L. Schepler +1
Angular dispersion (AD) is a ubiquitous phenomenon in optics after light traverses a diffractive or dispersive device, whereby each wavelength propagates at a different angle. AD i…
Long-distance axial spectral encoding using space-time wave packets
Layton A. Hall, Murat Yessenov, Miguel A. Romer +1
Space-time wave packets (STWPs) are pulsed optical beams whose spatiotemporal structure enables propagation invariance. However, STWPs allow for a unique propagation configuration…
Optical spatiotemporal Fourier synthesis: Tutorial
Murat Yessenov, Ayman F. Abouraddy
Fourier synthesis is one of the foundations of physical optics. Spatial Fourier optics is a basis for understanding optical imaging, microscopy, and holography. In conventional Fou…
Resonance-free Fabry-Pérot cavity via unrestricted orbital-angular-momentum ladder-up
Shaghayegh Yaraghi, Oussama Mhibik, Murat Yessenov +5
Introducing elements into an optical cavity that modify the transverse spatial field structure can also impact the cavity spectral response. In particular, an intra-cavity spatial…
Ultrafast space-time optical merons in momentum-energy space
Murat Yessenov, Ahmed H. Dorrah, Cheng Guo +7
Skyrmions, topologically non-trivial localized spin structures, are fertile ground for exploring emergent phenomena in condensed matter physics and next-generation magnetic-memory…
Observation of space-time surface plasmon polaritons
Naoki Ichiji, Hibiki Kikuchi, Murat Yessenov +3
Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are surface-bound waves at metal-dielectric interfaces that exhibit strong out-of-plane field confinement, a key feature for applications is nano-…
Experimental realization of Lorentz boosts of space-time wave packets
Murat Yessenov, Miguel Romer, Naoki Ichiji +1
It is now well-understood that a Lorentz boost of a spatially coherent monochromatic optical beam yields a so-called space-time wave packet (STWP): a propagation-invariant pulsed b…
Compact dual-band spectral analysis via multiplexed rotated chirped volume Bragg gratings
Oussama Mhibik, Murat Yessenov, Leonid Glebov +2
Chirped Bragg volume gratings (CBGs) offer a useful alternative for spectral analysis, but increasing the bandwidth necessitates increasing the device area. In contrast, recently d…
Transverse spin angular momentum of space-time surface plasmon polariton wave packet
Naoki Ichiji, Daigo Oue, Murat Yessenov +3
In addition to longitudinal spin angular momentum (SAM) along the axis of propagation of light, spatially structured electromagnetic fields such as evanescent waves and focused bea…
Ultra-compact synthesis of space-time wave packets
Murat Yessenov, Oussama Mhibik, Lam Mach +5
Space-time wave packets (STWPs) are pulsed fields in which a strictly prescribed association between the spatial and temporal frequencies yields surprising and useful behavior. How…
Rotated chirped volume Bragg gratings for compact spectral analysis
Oussama Mhibik, Murat Yessenov, Lam Mach +3
We introduce a new optical component - a rotated chirped volume Bragg grating (r-CBG) - that spatially resolves the spectrum of a normally incident light beam in a compact footprin…
Exciting space-time surface plasmon polaritons by irradiating a nanoslit structure
Naoki Ichiji, Murat Yessenov, Kenneth L. Schepler +2
Space-time (ST) wave packets are propagation-invariant pulsed optical beams that travel freely in dielectrics at a tunable group velocity without diffraction or dispersion. Because…

Yijie Shen, Qiwen Zhan, Logan G. Wright +42
Spatiotemporal sculpturing of light pulse with ultimately sophisticated structures represents the holy grail of the human everlasting pursue of ultrafast information transmission a…
Relativistic transformations of quasi-monochromatic optical beams
Murat Yessenov, Ayman F. Abouraddy
A monochromatic plane wave recorded by an observer moving with respect to the source undergoes a Doppler shift and spatial aberration. We investigate here the transformation underg…
Vector space-time wave packets
Murat Yessenov, Zhaozhong Chen, Martin P. J. Lavery +1
Space-time wave packets (STWPs) are propagation-invariant pulsed beams whose characteristics stem from the tight association between their spatial and temporal degrees of freedom.…
Observation of ultrabroadband striped space-time surface plasmon polaritons
Naoki Ichiji, Hibiki Kikuchi, Murat Yessenov +3
Because surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are surface waves characterized by one free transverse dimension, the only monochromatic diffraction-free spatial profiles for SPPs are co…
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…

Murat Yessenov, Sanaz Faryadras, Sepehr Benis +3
Space-time (ST) wave packets are a class of pulsed optical beams whose spatio-temporal spectral structure results in propagation invariance, tunable group velocity, and fascinating…
Space-time wave packets localized in all dimensions
