We propose an effective scheme to interpret the abruptly autofocusing vortex beam. In our scheme, a set of analytical formulae are deduced to well predict not only the global caustic, before and after the focal plane, but also the focusing properties of the abruptly autofocusing vortex beam, including the axial position as well as the diameter of focal ring. Our analytical results are in excellent agreement with both numerical simulation and experimental results. Besides, we apply our analytical technique to the fine manipulation of the focusing properties with a scaling factor. This set of methods would be beneficial to a broad range of applications such as particle trapping and micromachinings.

In this paper, the circular Bessel Gaussian beams (CBGBs) carrying power-cotangent-phase vortices are firstly introduced, whose propagation dynamics are explored theoretically and experimentally. The number of spiral lobes, rotation direction, rotation angle, and shape of the new type of beam can be flexibly modulated by controlling multiple parameters of power-cotangent-phase vortices. Accordingly, the effect of multiple beam parameters on abruptly autofocusing ability is quantified and compared by using the K-value curve that is described by ratio Im/I, where Im and I correspond to the maximum intensities at different propagation distance and the initial plane, respectively.

Article Synopsis
  • - This research demonstrates how to create Poincaré polarization singularities that resemble tornadoes by combining two orthogonally polarized ring-Airy beams that possess orbital angular momentum (OAM).
  • - The singularities are influenced by phase vortices that align with the high-intensity areas of one of the beams, causing them to evolve along twisting and shrinking paths as they travel.
  • - They achieve angular acceleration rates exceeding 120 rad/mm, making these Poincaré tornadoes potentially useful in fields such as singular optics, wavefront manipulation, polarization engineering, and complex media imaging.

In this paper, we firstly propose a method to measure the topological charges (TCs) of a circular Bessel Gaussian beam with multiple vortex singularities (CBGBMVS) by utilizing cross phase. Based on theory and experiment, the cross phase is utilized to realize the TCs measurement of the CBGBMVS in free space with different situations, such as different singularity number, TCs and singularity location. Especially, the TCs measurement method is also investigated and verified in atmosphere turbulence.
