Abstract
We simulate the propagation of the abruptly autofocusing chirped ring Pearcey Gaussian vortex (CRPGV) beams with caustics by modulating the phase of a circularly symmetric optical wavefront appropriately. The propagation characteristics of the CRPGV beams are explored in the Kerr medium. Different caustic surfaces of revolution which can be used as optical bottles are formed during the propagation. We also introduce the influence of the initial input power, the chirp factor and the stochastic type perturbations for the CRPGV beams during the propagation. Furthermore, the dynamics of the optical bottle and the breathers-like structures are explored in detail.
