“…Other works have also shown the persistence of their features inside self-defocusing nonlinear media [12]. All these unique properties have already been utilized to open a number of application fields, such as beam trajectory control [13], optical micromanipulation [14,15,16], vacuum electron acceleration [17], curved plasma filaments [18], Airy plasmon-polaritons [19,20,21], and abruptly autofocusing waves [22].…”

Reflection and refraction of a finite-power Airy beam at the interface between two dielectric media are investigated analytically and numerically. The formulation takes into account the paraxial nature of the optical beams to derive convenient field evolution equations in coordinate frames moving along Snell's refraction and reflection axes. Through numerical simulations, the self-accelerating dynamics of the Airy-like refracted and reflected beams are observed. Of special interest are the cases of critical incidence at Brewster and total-internal-reflection (TIR) angles. In the former case, we find that the reflected beam achieves self-healing, despite the severe suppression of a part of its spectrum, while, in the latter case, the beam remains nearly unaffected except for the GoosHänchen shift. The self-accelerating quality persists even if the beam is trapped by multiple TIRs inside a dielectric film. The grazing incidence of an Airy beam at the interface between two media with close refractive indices is also investigated, revealing that the interface can act as a filter depending on the beam scale and tilt. We finally consider reverse refraction and perfect imaging of an Airy beam into a left-handed medium.

“…These characteristics lead them to be good candidate in many applications such as optical micro-manipulation [6], curved plasma channel generation [7,8], optical microscopy and scanning microscopy using optical Airy bullets [9], vacuum electron acceleration [10], trapping and guiding microparticles [11,12]. Several methods have been devoted to generate the Airy beams with finite energy.…”

Abstract-In this work, a novel family of Finite Airy array beams have been produced by an optical Airy transform system illuminated by Gaussian Array beams. Based on the generalized HuygensFresnel integral, an analytical expression is developed to describe the pattern properties of the beam generated at the output plan of the optical system. The well-known Finite Airy beam generated from the fundamental Gaussian beam using an optical Airy transform system is deduced, here, as a particular case of the main result of the actual study. Numerical calculations are performed to show the possibility to create a multitude of Finite Airy array beams with controllable parameters depending on the number of beamlets, the distance between the adjacent modules and the positions and orientations of the beamlets.

“…Due to their unique properties, several applications of finite-energy Airy beams have been found, including optical clearing of microparticles [5], optical routing [6], curved plasma channel generation [7,8], vacuum electron acceleration [9,10], and etc. The Airy-Gaussian beams, which carry finite power and retain the nondiffracting propagation properties within a finite propagation distance [11][12][13], have been demonstrated widely recently [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19].…”
