Abstract

We theoretically, numerically, and experimentally investigate new types of laser beams with autofocusing, rotating and/or transformation properties. A spatial light modulator generates these laser beams as clusters/sets of shifted vortex Laguerre-Gaussian beams and their superpositions with additional phase distribution. We demonstrate the formation of the clusters of rotating beams with controlled individual autofocusing trajectories as well as different transformations (topological/positional and interference redistribution) and rotation of the entire clusters as complex structures. Moreover, we investigate the possibility of astigmatic transformation of the propagating laser beams clusters. Thus, the proposed techniques provide additional control of the three-dimensional trajectories of the structured laser beams with predetermined intensity and phase distributions and can be used in laser manipulation, laser material processing, and optical microscopy.
