(3+1)-dimensional Airyprime-Laguerre-Gaussian wave packets in strongly nonlocal nonlinear media
Abstract:
In this work, we study (3+1)-dimensional Airyprime-Laguerre-Gaussian (ALG) wave packets in strongly nonlocal nonlinear media. We investigate the effects of distribution factor, cross-phase factor, power ratio, and nonlocal degree on ALG wave packets. Noteworthy, spatiotemporal ALG wave packets show different transverse shapes, such as triple-peaked, doughnut, and elliptic shapes, while the temporal distribution is like a spindle shape. We further discuss different nonlocal degree manifestations of ALG wave packets. Additionally, we study the Poynting vector, angular momentum, and optical forces of the ALG wave packets. These results explain the propagation dynamics of ALG wave packets and highlight their potential applications in particle trapping.
