- Additional information
- This work experimentally verifies the existence of a curved light beam - photonic hook which is the only other instance of curved light discovered to date apart from Airy beam. The top optics journal - Nature Photonics reported it in their News & Views. The international collaboration between Bangor University and Tomsk State University (Russia) was further strengthened and led to a UK-Russia travel exchange project funded by the Royal Society cost-share programme (IEC\R2\202040).
