GENERATION OF AIRY LIGHT BEAMS DIFFRACTED BY A SINUSOIDAL PHASE GRATING
Abstract
The paper considers a new method for generation of Airy dynamic beams. Using SLM, the possibility of production of incomplete Airy beams due to light refraction by a sinusoidal phase grating is confirmed experimentally. The properties of such beams are studied.
