TL;DR: In this paper, the first observation of Airy optical beams has been reported in both one-and two-dimensional configurations, and they exhibit unusual features such as the ability to remain diffraction-free over long distances while they tend to freely accelerate during propagation.

TL;DR: This work investigates both theoretically and experimentally the self-healing properties of accelerating Airy beams and shows that this class of waves tends to reform during propagation in spite of the severity of the imposed perturbations.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated both theoretically and experimentally that optical Airy beams propagating in free space can perform ballistic dynamics akin to those of projectiles moving under the action of gravity.

TL;DR: This work reports the first observation of Airy optical beams, a class of wave packets that can exhibit unusual features such as the ability to remain diffraction-free over long distances while they tend to freely accelerate during propagation.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the spatial variability of the vectorial properties contains information about the origins of randomly scattered fields and that the complex degree of mutual polarization provides the high-order polarization correlations necessary to identify the sources of different random fields.
