Due to their useful properties such as resistance to diffraction, self-healing, and selfbending even in free space, these beams have attracted great attention with many proposed applications. Interestingly, some of these beams could be designed with controllable spatial profiles and thus propagate along various desired trajectories such as parabolic, snake-like, hyperbolic, hyperbolic secant, three-dimensional spiraling, and even self-propelling trajectories. Experimentally, suchbeams are realized typically by using a spatial light modulator so as to imprint a desired phase distribution on a Gaussian-like input wave front propagating under paraxial or nonparaxial conditions. In this paper, we provide a brief overview of our recent work on specially shaped self-accelerating beams, including Bessel-like, breathing Bessellike, and vortex Bessel-like beams. In addition, we propose and demonstrate a new type of dynamical Bessel-like beams that can exhibit not only self-accelerating but also self-propelling during propagation. Both theoretical and experimental results are presented along with a brief discussion of potential applications.展开更多

The role of the piezoelectric element and the acousto-optic modulator in the excitation of flexural and longitudinal acoustic modes in the frequency range up to 1.2 MHz is highlighted. A combination of the finite elements and the transfer matrix methods is used to simulate the interaction of the waves with Bragg and long period gratings. Results show a very good agreement with experimental data. Recent applications such as the writing of gratings under the acoustic excitation and a novel viscometer sensor based on the acousto-optic mechanism are discussed.展开更多
