Enhancing axial localization with wavefront control
M. Peterek, M. Paur, M. Vitek +6
Enhancing the ability to resolve axial details is crucial in three-dimensional optical imaging. We provide experimental evidence showcasing the ultimate precision achievable in axi…
Anticaustics in a Fabry-Perot interferometer
L. L. Sanchez-Soto, J. J. Monzon, G. Leuchs
We address the response of a Fabry-Perot interferometer to a monochromatic point source. We calculate the anticaustics (that is, the virtual wavefronts of null path difference) res…
On the ray-wavefront duality
A. Diaz Cano, F. Gonzalez-Gascon, L. L. Sanchez-Soto
We investigate the behavior of the solutions of the ray equation in isotropic media. We discuss local and global transversals and wavefronts and give examples of rays without wavef…
Observation of concentrating paraxial beams
Andrea Aiello, Martin Paur, Bohumil Stoklasa +3
We report,to the best of our knowledge, the first observation of concentrating paraxial beams of light in a linear nondispersive medium. We have generated this intriguing class of…
Unraveling beam self-healing
Andrea Aiello, Girish S. Agarwal, Martin Paúr +6
We show that, contrary to popular belief, non only diffraction-free beams may reconstruct themselves after hitting an opaque obstacle but also, for example, Gaussian beams. We unra…
The many facets of the Fabry-Perot
Luis L. Sanchez-Soto, Juan J. Monzon, Gerd Leuchs
We address the response, both in amplitude and intensity, of a Fabry-Perot from a variety of viewpoints. These complementary pictures conspire to achieve a comprehensive and consis…
