  • Abstract
    We theoretically and experimentally demonstrate self-accelerating Bessel-like optical beams propagating along arbitrary trajectories in free space. Such beams possess nearly symmetric nondiffracting main lobes and exhibit self-healing properties, promising for a variety of applications.
