Abstract

We use the full vector beams propagation method (VFE-BPM) to simulate the nonlinear propagation process of the cylindrical vector beams (CVBs). We have shown that the CVBs have poor transverse stability which causes which causes the breakup due to the ring-shaped beam field. Then, we use the approximate analytic theory to qualitative analyze the variations of the numerically calculated instability growth rates, which shows excellent agreement with the simulated results.
