Autofocusing beams have attracted widespread attention due to their advantages in optical trapping, but their propagation behavior in complex optical systems is still unclear. Here, we obtain the analytical propagation formulas for autofocusing beams through optical systems described by ABCD matrices. Foci adjustment through a lens and oscillate behavior in a parabolic potential medium of the beams are discussed. Interestingly, besides the real focus, autofocusing beams possess a virtual focus, which can be observed with a lens or lens-like medium. Furthermore, we provide a method for predicting the focal position of autofocusing beams passing through a given optical system, which is beneficial for the design and parameter optimization of practical optical devices.

However, when viewing beam profiles from gratings using infrared (IR) cameras, it is often difficult to determine the corresponding heights where the beam profiles are located. In this work, we developed transformer models to recognize the corresponding height categories of beam profiles in light from SiPh gratings.

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.

By elaborately selecting elliptical trajectory parameters and corresponding orders, the MBBs can be tailored to diverse longitudinal and transversal shapes simultaneously. The proposed method breaks through the limitation that the components of conventional bottle beams can only self-accelerate along paraxial paths with fixed shapes.

- - 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.
