This research demonstrates new propagation properties of a quadruple gaussian airy beam with varied polarization, highlighting its applications in structured light.
In recent years, structured light with novel propagation properties has attracted great attention. Among these structured beams, the Airy beam is one of the most representative and widely used beams. In this paper, we propose a kind of quadruple Gaussian Airy beam (QGAB) with fourfold symmetry. The QGAB is designed by the combination of Gaussian and Airy functions, and the polarization of the QGAB can be either singular or space-variant. We experimentally generate the QGABs and further study the propagation characteristics of the QGABs with different polarization states. The QGAB enriches the family of the structured beams, and the autofocusing and self-healing properties can be applied in regions such as optical communications, optical microscopes, and optical tweezers.
