Simulating the Propagation of One-Dimensional and Two-Dimensional Airy Beams via the Angular Spectrum Method

Airy beams are a class of non-diffracting, self-accelerating optical fields whose propagation behaviors—such as intensity profile evolution, phase dynamics, and auto-focusing—are of great interest in optics. This article uses the Angular Spectrum Method (ASM) to simulate the propagation of one‑dimensional (1D) and two‑dimensional (2D) Airy beam ...
