Non-diffracting Airy beams in planar optical waveguides: a convenient method for visualization

摘要

In this paper we present an analysis of non-diffracting Airy beam solutions in planar waveguides. It is proposed that observing fluorescence from dye-doped polymers that can be coated on such planar waveguides can provide a simple and convenient technique for visualization and measurement of the propagation trajectories of such beams as well as studies on other characteristics of such non-diffracting beams.
