[摘要]：TEM00 Gaussian beams passing through a spatially limiting aperture in order to investigate the propagation of these clipped focused-Gaussian beams. Beam distributions at different axial distances show that a traditional M-2 propagation model cannot be used for the propagation of clipped focus-Gaussian beams. Using Luneberg's vector diffraction theory and Fresnel approximations, an analytical model for the on-axis transverse and longitudinal electric fields and intensity distributions is presented including predictions of the maximum obtainable intensity. In addition, an analytical expression is provided for the longitudinal component of the electric field of a TEM00 mode unperturbed Gaussian beam. Experimental results are also presented and compared to the model's predictions. (C) 2010 Optical Society of America |
