ABSTRACT
Hua Zhong, Yiqi Zhang*, and Yanpeng Zhang Key Laboratory for Physical Electronics and Devices of the Ministry of Education & Shaanxi Key Lab of Information Photonic Technique, Xi’an Jiaotong University, Xi’an 710049, China *Corresponding author: zhangyiqi@mail.xjtu.edu.cn We investigate spatial manipulation of Airy beams in two aspects: (1) We demonstrate that finite energy circular Airy beams can be effectively manipulated by different dynamic linear potentials. We find that the autofocusing effect can be either strengthened or weakened, due to the concrete profile of the linear potential. (2) We discover that fractional Airy–Talbot effect by superposing Airy beams with equal-distance transverse displacements if the coefficients of the components are properly chosen. Our results broaden the potential applications of Airy beams in trapping and manipulating microparticles, offering potential use in optics, biology and other disciplines.
