These are the unlink. The problem is that you can push all of the knotting off to infinity.
If you take any $z$ cross-section, you see a discrete collection of points in the plane, say countably many. So you have a map $\varphi: \mathbb{Z}\times \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}^3$$\varphi: \mathbb{N}\times \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}^3$ such that $\varphi(n, z) = (f_1(n,z),f_2(n,z), z)$. Now, create an isotopyClaim: one may find a smoothly varying family of diffeomorphisms $\varphi_t$$\phi_z: \mathbb{R}^2\to \mathbb{R}^2$ such that $\varphi_t(n,z)= (f_1(n,0),f_2(n,0), z)$ for $-t\leq z\leq t$, and essentially$\phi_z((n,0))=(f_1(n,z),f_2(n,z))$. Then we obtain a diffeomorphism $\varphi_t(n,z)=(f_1(n,z-t),f_2(n,z-t),z)$ for$\Phi: \mathbb{R}^3\to\mathbb{R}^3$ defined by $z\geq t$$\Phi(x,y,z)=\phi_z(x,y)$, and $(f_1(n,z+t,f_2(n,z+t),z)$ forwhich sends the infinite unlink $z\leq -t$$\mathbb{N}\times \{0\}\times \mathbb{R}$ to the given braid. Since (this will$Diff_+(\mathbb{R}^3)$ is connected, this diffeo. may be non-smooth at levelsachieved by ambient isotopy.
Here's a proof of the claim. First, let's see how to extend a single point moving smoothly in the plane to a family of diffeos. Let $t,-t$$\phi^1_z(x,y)=(f_1(0,z)+x,f_2(0,z)+y)$. Then $\phi^1_z(0,0)=(f_1(0,z),f_2(0,z))$. Thus, but youwe can easily modify it"straighten" a bit to be smoothsingle strand by reparameterizing thecomposing with this diffeomorphism.
Assume we have "straightened" $z$ coordinate by a mollifier)$n$ strands. AsTo straighten the $t\to \infty$$n+1$st strand, we choose the link becomes isotopicsame diffeo. above tailored to the straight vertical link $\{(f_1(n,0),f_2(n,0)) | n\in \mathbb{Z} \}\times \mathbb{R}$this strand. You're essentially combingThis diffeo. is tangent to a 1-parameter family of vector fields in the linkplane. We may modify these vector fields by a bump function to be straightzero in a neighborhood of the first $n$ points which avoids the $n+1$st point. This can easilyThen integrate this vector field to get a family of diffeomorphisms which fixes the first $n$ points. One may be described by ambient isotopya bit more careful with this induction to make sure that as $n\to \infty$, this family of diffeomorphisms is eventually constant on compact subsets of the plane. Then one obtains in the limit the desired 1-parameter family of diffeos. which straightens the link.
