Article Abstract
The scattering of structured light beams by various particles is an important subject of research with myriad practical applications, such as the manipulation, measurement, and diagnosis of small particles. We carry out an analysis of the scattering of two-dimensional (2D) Airy beams by typical non-spherical particles. The electric and magnetic field vectors of the incident Airy beams are derived by introducing a vector potential in the Lorenz gauge. The scattered fields of the particles are obtained by utilizing the method of moments based on surface integral equations. Some numerical simulations for the scattering of 2D Airy beams by several selected non-spherical particles are performed and analyzed. Especially, a spheroidal particle is taken as an example, and the effects of various parameters describing the 2D Airy beams on its differential scattering cross section are examined. It is expected that this work will be helpful for understanding the interactions of 2D Airy beams with non-spherical particles and their further applications.

The line-of-sight blockage is one of the main challenges in sub-terahertz wireless networks. Interestingly, the extended near-field range of sub-terahertz nodes gives rise to near-field wavefront shaping as a feasible remedy to tackle this issue. Recently, Airy beams emerged as one promising solution that opens significant opportunities to circumvent blockers with unique self-accelerating properties and curved trajectories.

The manipulation of spoof surface waves (SSWs) plays a very critical role in terahertz photonics and imaging due to their unique properties. However, the dynamic manipulation of SSW wavefronts remains a major challenge, restricting their wide-ranging applications. Here, we propose an approach to design reconfigurable on-chip metadevices that enable terahertz SSW excitation, wavefront reshaping, and dynamic manipulation in a controllable manner simultaneously.

Through theoretical and experimental analyses, this paper compares the self-healing behaviors of phase vortex Airy beams (VoABs) and polarization vector vortex Airy beams (VVABs) from fracture to reconstruction during free space propagation. Experimental results demonstrate that while the degree of main lobe fracture is similar for both beams at the same order, they have different self-healing processes, enabling selective modulation of both phase and polarization attributes during self-healing.

Could this transform be extended to unlock the potential for generating a broader series of specific beams? In this paper, a more comprehensive generalized Airy derivative transform is proposed, within which the conventional Airy transform is encapsulated as the zeroth-order case, while further extensions are incorporated. To further clarify the transmission characteristics, analytical expressions are derived for the center of mass, the dimension of the light spot, the divergent angle, and the M-square factor determined by the first- and second-order moments of the light intensity at the output plane of a transformed Gaussian beam processed through an Airy derivative transform optical system of arbitrary order.
