Demonstration of Diffraction-Free, Acceleration-Free Space-Time Airy Beams
We experimentally demonstrate pulsed Airy beams that are diffraction-free and acceleration-free by introducing a tight correlation between the spatial and temporal spectra of a femtosecond-pulsed beam via a two-dimensional pulse shaper. Such beams only exhibit transverse acceleration only in the pulse local time-frame.
