Abstract
The longitudinal and transverse energy flux density (EFD) and angular momentum density (AMD) of the radial Pearcey-Gauss vortex array beams are studied by using the vector angular spectrum representation and stationary phase method, where the influence of topological charge, initial phase index, noncanonical strength and the number of beamlet on far-field vectorial structures of the corresponding beam is emphasized. The results show that the topological charge of center optical vortex is always equal to initial phase index for different noncanonical strength. The longitudinal EFDs exhibit different structures by varying initial phase index and the number of beamlet. For an odd-N, the topological charge of center optical vortex can be determined by distinguishing the longitudinal EFD, however for an even-N the topological charge cannot be identified due to the equivalence of longitudinal EFD in the case of positive and negative initial phase index m. The AMD tends to split more branches from the positive and negative direction with increasing the absolute value of topological charge l, The inner structures of AMD are also affected by different beamlets while the zero value of AMD is always retained.
