Propagation of Airy Gaussian vortex beams through slabs of right-handed materials and left-handed materials

Interaction of Airy–Gaussian beams in Kerr media

“…Their study has showed that the self-acceleration effect of the AiG beam becomes weaker when the distribution factor increases and as the initial input power increases, they observe the quasibreather finally. Chen et al have investigated the propagation of Airy-Gaussian-vortex (AiGV) beams through slabs of right-handed materials and left-handed materials [19]. Their researches have showed that the optical vortex can destroy the center lobe of the AiGV beams, and the center lobe can reconstruct due to the fact that the acceleration of the vortex and the AiGV beam is not consistent.…”

Propagation of an Airy-Gaussian beam passing through the ABCD optical system with a rectangular aperture

“…An AiG beam carrying finite power maintains the nondiffracting propagation properties within a finite propagation distance, and can be realized experimentally to a very good approximation. To date, analytical vectorial structure [24] and propagation in a quadratic-index medium [25], in the fractional fourier transform plane [26], in Kerr medium [27] and through slabs of right-handed materials and left-handed materials [28] of an AiG beam have been reported. What is more, Ez-Zariy et al have studied propagation characteristics of an AiG beam passing through a misaligned optical system with finite aperture [29].…”

Propagation properties of the chirped Airy vortex beams through left-handed and right-handed material slabs

“…A vortex beam is a laser beam with continuous spiral phase distribution, and the propagation dynamics of the Airy vortex (AiV) beam have been analyzed theoreticaly [17] and experimentally [18] . Subsequently, the propagation properties of the Airy Gaussian vortex (AiGV) beams in righthanded materials (RHMs) to left-handed materials (LHMs) [19,20] , and uniaxial crystals [21] have been studied. Compared with the RHMs, the LHMs have many unusual properties.…”

“…In the initial input plane (z ¼ 0), the optical field distribution of CAiV beams can be expressed as [1,7,19,20] φ…”

“…Under the paraxial approximation, the optical system from the source plane to the observation plane can be expressed as [19,20] A…”
