An analytical expression of an Airy beam propagating in a strongly nonlocal nonlinear media is derived. The analytical expressions of the corresponding characteristic parameters for the Airy beam, such as the centre of gravity, the effective beam size, the curvature radius, the kurtosis parameter, and the linear momentum, have also been presented, respectively. The normalized intensity distribution and these characteristic parameters are pictorially demonstrated in the strongly nonlocal nonlinear media, respectively. It shows all the characteristic parameters versus the axial propagation distance are periodic. The period of the linear momentum versus the axial propagation distance isThe period of other characteristic parameters and the normalized intensity isThe periodic behavior of the Airy beam in the strongly nonlocal nonlinear media has promising application in optical switch and optical micromanipulation.

“…By using the coherently combinative technology, a high-power Airy beam can be generated [19]. The Airy beam can be used in particle clearing [20], optical switching [21], optical trapping [22], and spatiotemporal measurement [23]. Due to carrying finite power, the Airy-Gauss beam is described in a more realistic way that the Airy beam propagates [24].…”

Abstract-An analytical expression of an Airy-Gauss beam passing through a fractional Fourier transform (FRFT) system is derived. The normalized intensity distribution, phase distribution, centre of gravity, effective beam size, linear momentum, and kurtosis parameter of the Airy-Gauss beam are demonstrated in FRFT plane, respectively. The influence of the fractional order p on the normalized intensity distribution, phase distribution, centre of gravity, effective beam size, linear momentum, and kurtosis parameter of the Airy-Gauss beam are examined in FRFT plane. The fractional order p controls the normalized intensity distribution, phase distribution, centre of gravity, effective beam size, the linear momentum, and kurtosis parameter. The period of the normalized intensity, phase, and centre of gravity versus the fractional order p is 4. The period of effective beam size, linear momentum, and kurtosis parameter versus the fractional order p is 2. The periodic behaviors of the normalized intensity distribution, phase distribution, centre of gravity, effective beam size, linear momentum, and kurtosis parameter can bring novel applications such as optical switch, optical micromanipulation, and optical image processing.

“…The Airy beam has attracted immense interest since the first experimental generation of Airy beams by Siviloglou et al [9] due to its unique features such as diffraction-free and transverse acceleration [10], self-healing [11] and potential applications [12][13][14][15]. Most work has been performed under paraxial conditions.…”

The nonlinear dynamics of an Airy beam in a saturated medium is presented. An analytical expression for the evolution of the Airy beam width in the root-mean-square sense is derived. The novel features of the collapsing beams of an Airy beam in a saturated medium are demonstrated by numerical calculation. These collapsing beams shift laterally and are the main property of the Airy beam. However, the collapsing beam in the major lobe of an Airy beam tends to shift in the opposite direction for conservation of the beam centroid. The location and evolution of the collapsing beams depend strongly on the initial powers. The peak intensities of the collapsing beams oscillate at almost the same intensity in the saturated medium, regardless of their initial powers. These results are useful for manipulating nonlinear wave collapse and multi-filamentation.
