Airyprime beams are known for their powerful autofocusing property, which are further enhanced by the introduction of a circular structure-circular Airyprime beam (CAPB). We derive an asymptotic expression of the CAPB in Fourier space (FS) and verify its accuracy by the numerical Fourier transform (FT) method. Through FS modulation on it, adjustable control of autofocusing property of the FS-modulated CAPB can be achieved, whose lower and upper limits can reach 8.7 reduction and 2.6 times enhancement compared to the unmodulated one. The experimental results agree well with the numerical analyses. Our findings offer promising possibilities for efficient particle trapping and enhancing free-space optical communication capabilities.

An Airy-like vortex beam array achieves the encoding and transmission of information through its auto-focusing property and the carriage of orbital angular momentum. However, the study of its auto-focusing ability, especially how this ability is affected by the number of vortices uploaded, has rarely been explored. This study delves into the effect of the number of vortices loaded onto a ring Airyprime vortex beam array (RAPVBA) on its auto-focusing ability.

The propagation dynamics of circular Airyprime beams double-modulated by the new phase vortices in free space are explored by theoretical analysis as well as experimental verification, where the generated new optical phenomena are explained based on the competition mechanism between the two combined phase vortices distributions. The proposed phase vortices have multiple degrees of freedom to manipulate the distribution of the light field, such as the multi-ring shape can be evolved into caterpillar-like, fan-like, and multi-spot shapes, and the number of spots and fan-like lobes can be flexibly controlled by multiple parameters.

In this paper, the propagation properties of a finite energy Airyprime (FEA) beam in atmospheric turbulence are investigated. With different source parameters, the beam type presents different beam distributions, and the beam wander and scintillation of FEA beams in turbulence are discussed. It is demonstrated that for the larger Airy control parameter or a smaller beam waist parameter , the beam wander of FEA beams decreases.

In this paper, the focusing characteristics of a circular Airyprime Gaussian beam (CAPGB) propagating in a gradient refractive index (GRIN) medium is studied for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, and some interesting features are observed. We find that the CAPGB exhibits periodic focus-defocus behavior and completes a period propagation process with two focal points within a half variation period /2 of the GRIN medium. Meanwhile, the CAPGB has singularity at the positions of =(2+1)/4 on the optical axis.

We explore the relationship between self-focusing and tight focusing of CApGVBs by adjusting the main ring radius. By refining vortex pair parameters, we show that the intensity distribution depends significantly on whether the arrangement is axial or off-axis.
