Caustics and Rogue Waves in an Optical Sea
Amaury Mathis, Luc Froehly, Shanti Toenger +3
There are many examples in physics of systems showing rogue wave behaviour, the generation of high amplitude events at low probability. Although initially studied in oceanography,…
Arbitrary non-paraxial accelerating periodic beams and spherical shaping of light
A. Mathis, F. Courvoisier, R. Giust +4
We report the observation of arbitrary accelerating beams designed using a non-paraxial description of optical caustics. We use a spatial light modulator-based setup and techniques…
Sending femtosecond pulses in circles: highly non-paraxial accelerating beams
F. Courvoisier, A. Mathis, L. Froehly +5
We use caustic beam shaping on 100 fs pulses to experimentally generate non-paraxial accelerating beams along a 60 degree circular arc, moving laterally by 14 \mum over a 28 \mum p…
