  Intense terahertz laser field is shown to have a profound effect on the
electronic and optical properties of quantum rings, where the isotropic and
anisotropic quantum rings can now be treated on equal footing. We have
demonstrated that in isotropic quantum rings the laser field creates irregular
AB oscillations that are usually expected in anisotropic rings. Further, we
have shown for the first time that intense laser fields can restore the {\it
isotropic} physical properties in anisotropic quantum rings. In principle, all
types of anisotropies (structural, effective masses, defects, etc.) can evolve
as in isotropic rings, in our present approach. Most importantly, we have found
a continuous evolution of the energy spectra and intraband optical
characteristics of structurally anisotropic quantum rings to those of isotropic
rings, in a controlled manner, with the help of a laser field.
