An Airy beam is a non-diffracting waveform which doesn’t spread out as the beam propagates and gives the appearance of curving as it travels. A cross section of an ideal Airy beam would reveal an area of principal intensity, with a series of adjacent, less luminous areas trailing off to infinity.

The Airy beam also has the characteristic of freely accelerating. As it propagates, it bends so as to form a parabolic arc.

HOLO/OR offers special Diffractive Optical Elements (DOEs)  which can transform a Gaussian laser beam into an Airy beam
