ABSTRACT
We report the autofocusing behaviors of ring Airy beams (RABs) embedded with two kinds of off-axial vortex singularities. The influences of embedded positions and topological charges of point and r vortices on the autofocusing dynamic are numerically and experimentally investigated. The results show that, for the first-order vortex, the embedded position significantly affects the focal field, and once the singularity is located on the main ring of RAB, the symmetric Bessel profile of the focal field will be broken, otherwise the Bessel-like focus can self-heal at the focal plane. However, for the higher-order vortex embedded near the main ring, it will split into several fundamental vortices and then separate with each other along the radial direction under the interaction with the RAB background. Our results hold potential for the practical application of RABs in the atmosphere and other propagation systems with perturbation and even singularities.
