Abstract

An approximate two-dimensional analytical model is proposed for description of a stationary monochromatic field arising at the Gaussian light beam refraction into a transparent or weakly absorbing homogeneous medium. Its formulae describe the spatial structure of a refracted field in a wide range of variation of incidence angles, when this field is characterized by free propagation, total internal reflection, or exponential decay. The model is based on the asymptotic calculation of the Fourier integral, taking into account possible diffraction effects of the first and the second order.
