Space–time wave packets violate the universal relationship between angular dispersion and pulse-front tilt

LA Hall, M Yessenov, AF Abouraddy - Optics Letters, 2021 - opg.optica.org
Introducing angular dispersion into a pulsed field tilts the pulse front with respect to the
phase front. There exists between the angular dispersion and pulse-front tilt a universal …
