Airyprime beam: From the non-truncated case to truncated one

Abstract The present paper investigates the spatial proprieties of a novel beam introduced recently known as Airyprime beam, its on-axis and transverse intensities are studied numerically. It is shown that the focused Airyprime beam exhibits two focuses corresponding to two intensities maxima limiting an Optical Bottle Beam (OBB), the latter is characterized by its length where numerical examples show that we can adjust and change it by changing the scale parameter w 0 x which is related directly to the input width of the Airyprime beam. The spatial proprieties of the truncated Airyprime beam are also studied; by acting on the aperture diameter one can modify the on-axis intensity to choose between a mono focus beam and dual focus beam. Depending on the aperture diameter the Airyprime beam is transformed into other interesting laser beam patterns such as, a flattop beam, Gaussian beam, and tune Optical Bottle Beam. The Airyprime beam could be interesting tool of trapping and guiding microparticles.
