Spatiotemporal dynamics of counterpropagating Airy beams
We analyse theoretically the spatiotemporal dynamics of two incoherent counterpropagating Airy beams interacting in a photorefractive crystal under focusing conditions. For a large enough nonlinearity strength the interaction between the two Airy beams leads to light-induced waveguiding. The stability of the waveguide is determined by the crystal length, the nonlinearity strength and the beam's...
متن کاملCounterpropagating optical beams and solitons
Physics of counterpropagating optical beams and spatial optical solitons is reviewed, including the formation of stationary states and spatiotemporal instabilities. First, several models describing the evolution and interactions between optical beams and spatial solitons are discussed, that propagate in opposite directions in nonlinear media. It is shown that coherent collisions between counter...
متن کاملDynamics of three-Airy beams carrying optical vortices.
We study numerically and demonstrate experimentally a novel type of singular optical beams formed by the phase imprinting of an optical vortex into the structure of the three-Airy beams. In contrast to a vortex-free product of three Airy beams, in this type of singular-Airy beam, the vortex in the beam axis causes a twist in the beam transverse intensity profile with propagation. Such a new typ...
متن کاملNon-paraxial Airy beams
We report the propagation dynamics of Airy light beams under non-paraxial conditions. It is studied using the general approach which deals with Fourier expansion of the beam. We show the transformation of the beam from the Airy form as the paraxiality parameter decreases. The role of evanescent waves in non-paraxial regime is discussed. c © 2009 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: 260.0260, ...
متن کاملSymmetric Airy beams.
In this Letter a new class of light beam arisen from the symmetrization of the spectral cubic phase of an Airy beam is presented. The symmetric Airy beam exhibits peculiar features. It propagates at initial stages with a single central lobe that autofocuses and then collapses immediately behind the autofocus. Then, the beam splits into two specular off-axis parabolic lobes like those correspond...
