Abstract:
In this paper, we study a change in the propagation trajectory of a set of autofocusing laser beams using a fractional Fourier transform. Clusters of displaced bounded Airy-Gaussian beams supplemented by a phase function that deflects the beam similarly to a prism are considered. The shift and phase deviation (according to the carrier spatial frequencies) make it possible to change the propagation trajectory of a set of autofocusing beams. The influence of the parameters under consideration on the properties of autofocusing of a cluster of Airy-Gaussian beams is investigated by means of numerical simulation.

Keywords:
autofocusing properties, sets of Airy-Gaussian beams, fractional Fourier transform.
