Abruptly autofocusing polycyclic tornado ring Airy beam

Abstract

Abstract We introduce numerically a new polycyclic tornado ring Airy beam (PTRAB) induced by annular spiral zone phases with the second order chirped factor. The PTRAB has such properties of controllable multi focuses, the multi optical bottles and rotation. By choosing appropriate parameters, we can control the times of the multi autofocus and the autofocusing distance, the size and the number of the OBs, the quantity of the spots and the location where the rotary direction changes from counterclockwise to clockwise. We believe our results have potential applications in laser energy focusing, optical tweezers, optical spanners and manufacturing tunable chiral meta-materials.
