Caustic analysis of partially coherent self-accelerating beams: Investigating self-healing property
We employed caustic theory to analyze the propagation dynamics of partially coherent self-accelerating beams such as self-healing of partially coherent Airy beams. Our findings revealed that as the spatial coherence decreases, the self-healing ability of beams increases. This result have been demons...

Summary: | We employed caustic theory to analyze the propagation dynamics of partially
coherent self-accelerating beams such as self-healing of partially coherent
Airy beams. Our findings revealed that as the spatial coherence decreases, the
self-healing ability of beams increases. This result have been demonstrated
both in simulation and experiment. This is an innovative application of the
caustic theory to the field of partially coherent structured beams, and
provides a comprehensive understanding of self-healing property. Our results
have significant implications for practical applications of partially coherent
beams in fields such as optical communication, encryption, and imaging. |
