Abstract

As a kind of typical self-accelerating laser beam, Airy beams have attracted much attention due to their fascinating properties and various potential applications. In this work, we carry out a full vector wave analysis of Airy beams upon reflection and refraction. A hybrid method based on the angular spectrum representation and vector potential in the Lorenz gauge is introduced to describe the vectorial structure of Airy beams upon reflection and refraction. The explicit analytical expressions for the electric and magnetic field components of arbitrarily incident Airy beams reflected and refracted at an air-medium interface are derived in detail. Local-field patterns and magnitude profiles with different parameters are displayed. The analytical formulas obtained in this work can be practically applied to explore the local dynamical characteristics, including the energy, momentum, spin, and orbital angular momentum of Airy beams upon reflection and refraction.
