On the Propagation of Gaussian Beams of Light Through Lenslike Media Including those with a Loss or Gain Variation
Abstract
A theoretical analysis is made of Gaussian beam propagation in media where the refractive index and/or the gain constant varies quadratically with the distance from the optic axis. Use of a complex beam parameter simplifies the analysis. A differential equation for the complex beam parameter is deduced from the wave equation for the complex beam parameter is deduced from the wave equation, and various of its solutions are discussed. This includes a discussion of light propagation in media with a gain profile, which are found capable of supporting stationary beams of constant diameter.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
