In recent years, the manipulation of structured optical beam has become an attractive and promising area. The Gaussian beam is the most common beam as the output beam of the laser, and the Airy beam is recently proposed with fascinating properties and applications. In this paper, for the first time to our knowledge, the polarization is used as a tool to design a new kind of Airy-Gaussian vector beam by connecting the Gaussian and Airy functions, which opens a new avenue in designing new beams based on the existed beams. We realize the Airy-Gaussian vector beam with space-variant polarization distribution in theory and experiment, and find that the vector beam can autofocus twice during propagation. The optical chains with flexible intensity peaks are achieved with the Airy-Gaussian vector beam, which can be applied in trapping and delivering particles including biological cells and Rydberg atoms. Such optical chains can significantly improve the trapping efficiency, reduce the heat accumulation, and sweep away the impurity particles.
