Far field calculation of distorted Gaussian beams

Not Accessible

Abstract

Far field calculations of beams, such as laser beams, are often applied in optical engineering. Current beam propagation methods fail in certain range parameters due to high storage requirements of the algorithms. This paper presents a new beam propagation method for far field calculations of distorted Gaussian beams in a homogeneous medium including optical elements, such as lenses. The method works even in the case of a large distance from the observation plane to the beam waist and can be applied to larger divergence angles. This new simulation technique factors out the phase of the Gaussian TEM00 beam and solves the resulting partial differential equation by suitable finite difference or finite element discretization methods.
