Long distance beam propagation in colloidal suspensions: Comparison between theory and experiment

It has been conjectured for some time that colloidal suspensions can act as artificial self-guiding media and support solitary beam-like solutions. The optical forces, along a diverging Gaussian beam, act to pull and retain the diffusing nanoparticles into its beam path. Consequently, the nanopartic...
