New class of laser beam doesn’t follow normal laws of refraction – Phys.org

University of Central Florida researchers have developed a new type of laser beam that doesn’t follow long-held principles about how light refracts and travels.
The findings, which were published recently in Nature Photonics, could have huge implications for optical communication and laser technologies.
“This new class of laser beams has unique properties that are not shared by common laser beams,” says Ayman Abouraddy, a professor in UCF’s College of Optics and Photonics and the study’s princ…
