On the concept of “tractor beams”
Sergey Sukhov,Aristide Dogariu +1 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated the existence of a class of optical beams where the nonconservative forces can be locally oriented in a direction opposite to the propagation wave vector.

B. Richards,Emil Wolf +1 more

Production and uses of diffractionless beams
R. M. Herman,T. A. Wiggins +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed to obtain intense optical fields, whose form shows little change in size over long paths, through the use of either conical lenses or spherical lenses showing spherical aberration together with a single projecting lens.

Diffraction Theory of Electromagnetic Waves
Julius Adams Stratton,L. J. Chu +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a vector analog of Green's theorem is applied to the calculation of diffraction of electromagnetic waves from a rectangular slit in a screen of infinite conductivity, and the results are compared with an exact solution obtained recently by Morse and Rubenstein.
