Abstract :
Two-dimensional Airy beams controlled with self-focusing and self-defocusing nonlinearities exhibit unexpected behavior in free-space and scattering media, including stagnation and anomalous diffraction, and resistance to vibration and distortion, solely depending on the initial control.
