Abstract

We demonstrate the temporal manipulation of spatiotemporal optical vortices (STOVs) by utilizing Airy pulses. By combining a STOV with an Airy temporal profile, the STOV exhibits nondispersive, self-accelerating, and self-healing features inherited from the Airy pulse propagation. Such features will enhance the control of STOVs in time.
