Abstract

The fractional Fourier transform (FRFT) is applied to treat the propagation of annular flat-topped beams. Based on the definition of FRFT in the cylindrical coordinate system, analytical formulae are derived for annular flat-topped beams through the FRFT optical systems. By using the formulae, the properties of annular flat-topped beams in the FRFT plane are illustrated numerically. The results show that the intensity distribution properties in the FRFT plane are closely related to the fractional order of the FRFT optical system and initial beam parameters.
