Evaluation of nonlinear behavior of Airy, cos-Airy, and cosh-Airy beams with and without optical vortex.

In this study, we investigate Airy, cos-Airy, and cosh-Airy beam lasers with optical vortex (OV). Then, taking into account the Fourier transform, we examine and compare the propagation of these beams in a strong nonlinear system. The results indicate that by changing the input power p 0 and the parameters b and propagation length, the location of OV displaces. It is shown that nonlinearity is one of the parameters that control OV in optical systems used in these types of lasers. An important property in these beams is their direction variation due to the change in the mentioned parameters, which can be used in applications such as beam switching. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
