Laplace–Gauss and Helmholtz–Gauss paraxial modes in media with quadratic refraction index

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The scalar theory of paraxial wave propagation in an axisymmetric medium where the refraction index quadratically depends on transverse variables is addressed. Exact solutions of the corresponding parabolic equation are presented, generalizing the Laplace–Gauss and Helmholtz–Gauss modes earlier known for homogeneous media. Also, a generalization of a zero-order asymmetric Bessel–Gauss beam is given.
