Article Abstract

In this work, a novel, to the best of our knowledge, zonal phase (ZP) modulation technique is introduced to solve the problem that the non-circular symmetric Pearcey beams (NCSPBs) lose relatively perfect auto-focusing ability. Our method efficiently improves the auto-focusing ability of the beams, achieves flexible control of the focus position or even generates multiple focusing effects, and is applicable to various forms of Pearcey beams. In addition, we have experimentally generated polymorphic Pearcey beams including unmodulation and ZP modulation, verifying the correctness of the theoretical analysis and the feasibility of the methodology. Our work provides an effective way for beam shaping, restoring and expanding the auto-focusing capability of other auto-focusing beams, with potential applications in periodic capture of multiple particles and enhancing free-space optical communication capabilities.

We explore the behavior of abruptly autofocusing (AAF) beams in a saturable nonlinear medium. Stable solitons with different distribution structures are found under different combinations of external electric field and light field structure. Furthermore, the evolution of circular Pearcey Gaussian (CPG) beams in a photorefractive strontium barium niobate crystal is investigated.

Partially coherent beams are renowned for their inherent resilience against environmental perturbations. However, traditional versions are prone to distortion due to light diffraction, which presents significant challenges for related applications such as information transfer. In this paper, we theoretically and experimentally construct a non-diffraction, partially coherent Pearcey beam.

The generation of tunable extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) vortex beams is highly sought after for optoelectronic applications in the EUV region. In this study, we investigate the generation of vortex high-order harmonics using a ring Pearcey-Gaussian vortex beam as the driving source. We analyze the beam's spatial structure through phase-matching conditions and simulate high-order harmonic generation by solving the Maxwell wave equations.

Herein, an analysis of the optical field emerging from a topological Young's interferometer is conducted. The interferometer consists of two 3D-slit shape curves and is studied by projecting it onto a trihedral reference system. From the projection, Airy, Pearcey, and cusped-type beams emerge.
