Simulations and Experimental Demonstrations of Plasmonic Airy Beams

Caption: This figure illustrates several examples of the on-the-fly control of the plasmonic Airy beams, including switching the trajectories to different directions (a,b) and bypassing obstacles [the gray solid circles in (c)] along curved paths, where the left and right column correspond to numerical simulations and experimental demonstrations, respectively.
