Abstract
We investigate laser manipulation of airborne light-absorbing particles trapped by different types of Airy beams - conventional two-dimensional Airy beams and circular Airy beams. The unique properties of these beams, namely propagation along accelerating trajectories, self-healing, and auto-focusing allows one to use them for manipulation of airborne particles hidden behind obstacles. The experimental results demonstrate the possibility of a controlled three-dimensional movement of the agglomerations of carbon nanoparticles.
