Incomplete Airy beams: finite-energy from a sharp spectral cutoff
We present a mathematical analysis of the finite-energy Airy beam with a sharply truncated spectrum, which can be generated by a uniformly illuminated, finite-sized spatial light modulator, or windowed cubic phase mask. The resulting "incomplete Airy beam" is tractable mathematically, and...
