In recent times, we experimentally realized quite an efficient modeling of the shape of diffraction-resistant optical beams, thus generating for the first time the so-called frozen waves (FW), whose longitudinal intensity pattern can be arbitrarily chosen within a prefixed space interval of the propagation axis. In this Letter, we extend our theory of FWs, which led to beams endowed with a static envelope, through a dynamic modeling of the FWs whose shape is now allowed to evolve in time in a predetermined way. Further, we experimentally create such dynamic FWs (DFWs) in optics via a computational holographic technique and a spatial light modulator. Experimental results are presented here for two cases of DFWs, one of zeroth order and the other of higher order, the latter being the most interesting exhibiting a cylindrical surface of light whose geometry changes in space and time.
