| Abstract: | Recent years have witnessed considerable rise in the study of self-accelerating beams – shape-preserving beams displaying spatial acceleration and self-healing. In this talk I will present a new kind of self-healing property of the accelerating beam to overcome linear and nonlinear losses, and introduce loss-proof accelerating beams. Such beams can create longrange loss-proof plasmons and,as I will demonstrate experimentally, manipulate particles in absorbing fluids, steering the particles to steep angles . In transparent media (e.g., free space), these beams show exponential growth in intensity during propagation, which facilitates other novel applications in particle acceleration and ignition of nonlinear processes. |
