(color online) Numerical demonstrations of the AiHeIG wave packets with different ellipticity parameters, distances Z and time T: the top row with the case ε → 0; the middle row with the case ε = 2; the bottom row with the case ε → ∞. (a1)–(c1) With the intensity distribution at Z = 0, T = 0; (a2)–(c2) with the corresponding phase distribution at Z = 0, T = 0; (a3)–(c3) the corresponding intensity distribution at Z = 1, T = 0; (a4)–(c4) the corresponding numerical experimental record intensity distribution at Z = 1, T = 0; (a5)–(c5) snapshots describing the evolution of the self-accelerating AieIG wave packets at Z = 1.
