Abstract: Due to small cross section and flexibility of optical fber, lab on tip requires no strict spatial collimation and coupling, therefore has many advantages including high integration, flexible operation, and performance stability. Here we review basic principles, generation and optimization of plasmonic all-fber single and double Airy beams. Various Airy beams have been achieved from metallic slits and grooves on the fber end based on FIB milling. The compact all-fber integrated special beam shaping devices are of importance to realize all-fber optical trapping, microparticle manipulation, and beam shaping.

Key words: optical fber, Airy beam, beam shaping, surface plasmon polaritons
