Abstract Combining the ABCD transfer matrix and the generalised Huygens-Fresnel integral equation method, the closed-form expression of a finite Airy Gaussian array beam (FAGAB) threading through a paraxial optical system was established in a space domain. We systematically investigated the evolution of the FAGAB's properties travelling through a curved slab system based on previously derived formula. The wave's characteristics through the flat slab system were the special cases of the main findings. We also assess the influence of the truncation factor and adjustment parameter on the FAGAB's intensity distribution on the slab system model's input and output cross-sections.
