We have generated this intriguing class of light beams, recently predicted by one of us, in both one- and two-dimensional configurations. As we demonstrate in our experiments, these concentrating beams display unconventional features, such as the ability to strongly focus in the focal spot of a thin lens like a plane wave, while keeping their total energy finite.engAtribución 3.0 Españahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/Observation of concentrating paraxial beamsjournal articlehttps://doi.org/10.1364/OSAC.400410https://www.osapublishing.orgopen access535OpticsÓptica (Física)2209.19 Óptica Física
