For a physicist, and more generally for a scientist, one of the pleasures in everyday life is to
detect exemplifying manifestations and avatars of the topic he is working on. Why do small …

This paper describes an analytical approach for the incorporation of a specific class of non-
diffracting beams known as zero-order continuous frozen waves (FWs) within the context of …

Frozen waves (FWs) are very interesting particular cases of nondiffracting beams whose
envelopes are static and whose longitudinal intensity patterns can be chosen a priori. We …

We investigate the generation of the Fourier transform of nondiffracting beams modulated by
Gaussian envelope and the propagation through free space of these new generated beams …

In this paper we develop an analytical method for spatial shaping of diffraction-and
attenuation-resistant beams carrying finite power in absorbing media. This can be achieved …

This paper analyzes the validity of the integral localized approximation for discrete
superpositions of arbitrary order Bessel beams—known as frozen waves. It is motivated by …

In this paper we experimentally implement the spatial shape modeling of nondiffracting
optical beams via computer generated holograms reconstructed optically by spatial light …

The optical properties of frozen waves (FWs) are theoretically and numerically investigated
using the generalized Lorenz-Mie theory (GLMT) together with integral localized …

Radiation pressure cross sections over arbitrary-sized spherical scatterers are evaluated
considering, as wave fields, recently developed frozen waves, which are a suitable …

This work aims to provide additional theoretical investigation of a promising class of
nondiffracting vector beams—the discrete vector frozen waves (FWs)—in the generalized …
