Abstract

The exploration of structured light created through autofocusing beams has attracted widespread attention in optical manipulation. Here, we investigate the propagation dynamics of chirped multi-Pearcey beams (CMPBs) in theory and experiment, especially exploring the impact of chirped factors on the autofocusing characteristics of CMPBs. It is found that the autofocusing characteristics of the beams can be significantly modulated by introducing first-order and second-order chirped factors. Specifically, the first-order chirped factor greatly improves the autofocusing coefficient of CMPBs, while the second-order chirped factor introduces multiple autofocusing propagations. By analyzing the transverse power flow of CMPBs both without and with chirped factors, we explain why the chirped factors can remarkably strengthen the autofocusing performance of CMPBs. Finally, our theoretical analysis on trapping force on Rayleigh particles indicates that the introduction of chirped factors optimizes the intensity gradient and trapping capability of CMPBs, potentially enabling multiple longitudinal trapping positions. These findings offer a comprehensive insight into the propagation dynamics of CMPBs, opening avenues for flexible optical manipulation of multiple particles.
