Abstract
- We theoretically investigate the propagation properties of cosh-Airy beams, which can be considered as a superposition of two Airy beams with different decay factors. We find that the field distribution of cosh-Airy beams is the same as that of Airy beams. Moreover, we find that the evolution of cosh-Airy beams is determined by the parameters of the cosh modulation function, in addition to the transverse scale factor and decay factor of the Airy beams. Our results demonstrate a possible method of manipulating Airy beams in free space. They can also be extended to the study of the propagation properties of cosine-Airy beams (or sine-Airy beams).
