Propagation of Pearcey Gaussian beams in a strongly nonlocal nonlinear medium.

We introduce the propagation of Pearcey Gaussian (PG) beams in a strongly nonlocal nonlinear medium (SNNM) analytically. Our results show that PG beams propagating in the SNNM have two different focusing positions. The intensity peak appears at different focusing positions depending on the selection of the nonlinear parameters. In addition, the effects of the nonlinear parameters and the scaling factor on the trajectory, the position of the intensity focusing, the intensity evolution between focus locations, and the radiation force are studied.
