Abstract
Space-time (ST) wave packets are pulsed beams endowed with tight spatio-temporal spectral correlations, whereby each spatial frequency is associated with a single wavelength resulting in propagation invariance at an arbitrary group velocity. Previously, our group introduced an experimental methodology to synthesize 2D ST wave packets, i.e. light sheets, based on 2D pulse shaper. Here, we demonstrate a new experimental method to synthesize ST wave packets localized in all dimensions, including 3D space and 1D time. We show that 3D ST wave packets propagate longer distances without spreading compared with traditional Bessel beams, and propagate at subluminal and superluminal
