Generation of nonparaxial self-accelerating beams using pendant droplets

We propose and demonstrate the effectual generation and control of nonparaxial self-accelerating beams by using UV-resin pendant droplets. We show that the geometrical shape of the hanging droplets formed as a result of the interplay between surface tension and gravity offers a natural curvature ena...
