Abstract
We measured the three-dimensional (3D) propagation dynamics of the Airy-Bessel wave packet, including its intensity and phase evolution. Its non-diffraction and non-dispersive feature were verified. Meanwhile, we built a spatial-light-modulator (SLM) based wave packet shaping system to generate other types of wave packets such as Airy-Airy-Airy and dual-Airy-Airy-rings. These wave packets were also measured in 3D. The abrupt 3D autofocusing effect was observed on dual-Airy-Airy-rings.
