Effect of aberrations on the parameters of an Airy beam

The parameters of Airy beams generated using a cubic phase are analytically investigated using Fourier transforms. The effects of the incident beam, the cubic phase and the optical system on the parameters of an Airy beam are analyzed. Meanwhile, the effects of low order aberrations on the generation of an Airy beam are analytically studied. With the help of the relations between the aberrations and the parameters of an Airy beam, a corrected Airy beam can be generated by controlling these parameters.
