In this letter, we introduce a new class of light beam, the circular symmetric Airy beam (CSAB), which arises from the extensions of the one dimensional (1D) spectrum of Airy beam from rectangular coordinates to cylindrical ones. The CSAB propagates at initial stages with a single central lobe that autofocuses and then defocuses into the multi-rings structure. Then, these multi-rings perform the outward accelerations during the propagation. That means the CSAB has the inverse propagation of the abruptly autofocusing Airy beam. Besides, the propagation features of the circular symmetric Airy vortex beam (CSAVB) also have been investigated in detail. Our results offer a complementary tool with respect to the abruptly autofocusing Airy beam for practical applications.

We introduce axisymmetric Airy-Gaussian vortex beams in a model of an optical system based on the (2+1)-dimensional fractional Schrodinger equation, characterized by its Levy index (LI). By means of numerical methods, we explore propagation dynamics of the beams with vorticities from 0 to 4. The propagation leads to abrupt autofocusing, followed by its reversal (rebound from the center). It is shown that LI, the relative width of the Airy and Gaussian factors, and the vorticity determine properties of the autofocusing dynamics, including the focusing distance, radius of the focal light spot, and peak intensity at the focus. A maximum of the peak intensity is attained at intermediate values of LI, close to LI=1.4 . Dynamics of the abrupt autofocusing of Airy-Gaussian beams carrying vortex pairs (split double vortices) is considered too.
According to Rytov approximation theory, we derive the analytical expression of the detection probability of the autofocusing Airy beam (AAB) with powerexponent-phase carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) mode, AAB-PEPV. We analyze the influence of oceanic turbulence on the propagation characteristics of the AAB-PEPV. The results show that the AAB-PEPV beam has a higher detection probability at the receiver when the anisotropic ocean turbulence has a larger unit mass fluid dynamic energy dissipation rate, a larger internal ratio factor, and a higher anisotropy factor. At the same time, the detection probability decreases with the temperature change dissipation rate, the temperature and salinity contribution to the refractive index spectrum. In addition, the larger power exponential phase and the longer wavelength the AAB-PEPV beam has, the better anti-interference the AAB-PEPV beam has.
We show that it is possible to independently control both the trajectory and the maximum amplitude along the trajectory of a paraxial accelerating beam. This is accomplished by carefully engineering both the amplitude and the phase of the beam on the input plane. Furthermore, we show that the width of an accelerating beam is related only on the curvature of the trajectory. Therefore, we are able to produce beams with predefined beam widths and amplitudes. These results are useful in applications where precise beam control is important. In addition we consider radially symmetric abruptly autofocusing beams. We identify the important parameters that affect the focal characteristics. Consequently, we can design autofocusing beams with optimized parameters (such as sharper focus and higher intensity contrast). In all our calculations the resulting formulas are presented in an elegant and practical form in direct connection with the geometric properties of the trajectory. Finally we discuss methods that can be utilized to experimentally realize such optical waves.
We analyze the propagation dynamics of radially polarized symmetric Airy beams (R-SABs) in a (2+1)-dimensional optical system with fractional diffraction, modeled by the fractional Schrodinger equation (FSE) characterized by the Levy index. The autofocusing effect featured by such beams becomes stronger, while the focal length becomes shorter, with the increase of . The effect of the intrinsic vorticity on the autofocusing dynamics of the beams is considered too. Then, the ability of R-SABs to capture nano-particles by means of radiation forces is explored, and multiple capture positions emerging in the course of the propagation are identified. Finally, we find that the propagation of the vortical R-SABs with an off-axis shift leads to rupture of the ring-shaped pattern of the power-density distribution.
We demonstrate the first planar Airy light-sheet microscope. Fluorescence light-sheet microscopy has become the method of choice to study large biological samples with cellular or sub-cellular resolution. The propagation-invariant Airy beam enables a ten-fold increase in field-of-view with single-photon excitation; however, the characteristic asymmetry of the light-sheet limits its potential for multi-photon excitation. Here we show how a planar light-sheet can be formed from the curved propagation-invariant Airy beam. The resulting symmetric light sheet excites two-photon fluorescence uniformly across an extended field-of-view without the need for deconvolution. We demonstrate the method for rapid two-photon imaging of large volumes of neuronal tissue.
