Abstract

The propagation dynamics of all-fiber plasmonic double parallel and orthogonal Airy beams are experimentally demonstrated. Two slits and groove arrays were fabricated by focused ion beam (FIB) milling on the gold coated end facet of an optical fiber to generate two Airy beams simultaneously. Sub-wavelength self-focusing of double parallel Airy beams in free space is experimentally verified. Effects of geometrical parameters on the intensity profiles of the focal spot are analyzed in detail. The characteristics at the junction of the two main lobes can be adjusted by controlling the initial phase difference of the two Airy beams. The propagation of two orthogonal Airy beams is also experimentally investigated. Multi-Airy beams are of importance to realize all-fiber optical trapping, fiber integrated devices, and laser shaping.
