| contents | The ability to precisely focus optical beams is crucial for numerous applications, yet conventional Gaussian beams exhibit slow intensity transitions near the focal point, limiting their effectiveness in scenarios requiring sharp focusing. In this work, the spherical Airy wavepacket, a three dimensional light field with an Airy function distribution in the radial direction in the full space time domain, is introduced and experimentally demonstrated. Leveraging the recently developed spatiotemporal hologram technique and an exponential polar coordinate transformation, spherical Airy wavepacket is sculpted to exhibit ultrafast autofocusing with a dramatically reduced depth of focus compared to conventional Gaussian beams and circular Airy beams. Experimental measurements confirm its nonlinear intensity surge and tight spatiotemporal confinement. |
