Propagation dynamics and radiation forces of autofocusing circle Bessel Gaussian vortex beams in a harmonic potential.

Abstract

In this paper, the circle Bessel Gaussian vortex beams (CBGVBs) are introduced in a harmonic potential for the first time, whose autofocusing properties are explored by theoretical analysis as well as numerical simulation. According to the dimensionless linear (2+1)D Schrödinger equation, we numerically simulate the transmission trajectories of different topological charges of the off-axis vortices and the positions, the intensity and the phase distributions, the maximum transmission intensity, the center of mass, the energy flow, and the angular momentum. The simulation results show that the periodically autofocusing CBGVBs can flexibly adjust the position, the intensity, and the focus points by controlling the parameters. By increasing the number of off-axis vortices and adjusting the position of off-axis vortices, the transmission trajectory and the intensity of the CBGVBs can be controlled. Furthermore, we notice that the larger the slope of the curve where the combined force of the scattering force and the gradient force is 0, the particles are more likely to be trapped.
