Inhaltsangabe

This book provides a comprehensive account of laser beam propagation, reflecting the major impact of new characterization methods, computational approaches, and fabrication techniques. It highlights new discoveries on laser beams and their propagation properties, including orbital angular momentum of light, the non-diffracting nature of light, and light that propagates along curved paths and reconstructs after obstacles. Chapters by expert researchers demonstrate how laser beams propagate, explain the generation of custom laser beams with modern techniques, describe beam properties, and showcase their application across various disciplines.
