- Additional information
- This paper demonstrates a new type of curved light beam called “photonic hook” which is the only other instance of curved light discovered to date apart from Airy beam. It contributed to the Welsh Government programme - Sêr Cymru National Research Network (NRNF66) and led to the award of the Royal Society UK-Russia cost-share project (IEC\R2\202040). This work received much public attention. A top optics journal - Nature Photonics reported it in their News & Views, and a number of scientific websites, including Laser Focus World, Photonics.com, MIT Technology Review, etc., posted the corresponding articles about it.
