Interaction of Airy–Gaussian beams in saturable media

Based on the nonlinear Schr o¨dinger equation, the interactions of the two Airy–Gaussian components in the incidence are analyzed in saturable media, under the circumstances of the same amplitude and different amplitudes, respectively. It is found that the interaction can be both attractive and repulsive depending on the relative phase. The smaller the interval between two Airy–Gaussian components in the incidence is, the stronger the intensity of the interaction. However, with the equal amplitude, the symmetry is shown and the change of quasi-breathers is opposite in the in-phase case and out-of-phase case. As the distribution factor is increased, the phenomena of the quasi-breather and the self-accelerating of the two Airy–Gaussian components are weakened. When the amplitude is not equal, the image does not have symmetry. The obvious phenomenon of the interaction always arises on the side of larger input power in the incidence. The maximum intensity image is also simulated. Many of the characteristics which are contained within other images can also be concluded in this figure.     

(3+1)-dimensional localized self-accelerating Airy elegant Ince-Gaussian wave packets and their radiation forces in free space

We construct analytically linear self-accelerating Airy elegant Ince–Gaussian wave packet solutions from(3+1)-dimensional potential-free Schr odinger equation. These wave packets have elliptical geometry and show different characteristics when the parameters(p, m) and ellipticity ε are adjusted. We investigate these characteristics both analytically and numerically and give the 3-dimensional intensity and phase distribution of these wave packets. Lastly, we analyze the radiation forces on a Rayleigh dielectric particle. In addition, we also find an interesting phenomenon that if the energy distribution between every part of wave packets is uneven at the input plane, the energy will be transferred between every part in the process of transmission.
