Abstract
A new kind of light beam named the elliptical Hermite-cosine-Gaussian beam (EHCosGB) is introduced in this paper by using a tensor method. An analytical propagation expression for an EHCosGB passing through an axially nonsymmetrical optical system is derived by using vector integration. By virtue of numerical simulations, the propagation properties of EHCosGBs through a free space and a focusing system are illustrated, respectively. The results indicate that an EHCosGB on the input plane can be regarded as the elliptical Hermite-Gaussian beam (EHGB) modulated by the cosine curves with certain oscillating frequency. Some of the neighboring lobes are combined and TEM-type Hermite-cosh-Gaussian beams are formed during the propagation.
