Abstract

A higher-order cosh–Gaussian beam is an appropriate model to describe the flattened laser beam. The fractional Fourier transform (FRFT) is applied to treat the propagation of higher-order cosh–Gaussian beams. An analytical expression for a higher-order cosh–Gaussian beam passing through a FRFT system has been derived. By using the derived expression, the properties of a higher-order cosh–Gaussian beam in the FRFT plane are graphically illustrated with numerical examples.
