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.…mehr

Andrew Forbes, PhD, has spent several years working as an applied laser physicist, first for the South African Atomic Energy Corporation and then later in a private laser company. He is currently chief researcher at the CSIR National Laser Centre in South Africa and is the research group leader for mathematical optics. Andrew sits on several international conference committees, chairs the SPIE (Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers) international conference on laser beam shaping and the OSA's (Optical Society of America) Diffractive Optics and Holography technical group. He holds honorary professorships at the University of Stellenbosch and the University of Kwazulu-Natal.
