Abstract
Based on the generalized Collins diffraction integral and the expansion of the hard aperture function into a finite sum of complex Gaussian functions, the approximate analytical expressions of Bessel–Gaussian beams and QBG beams passing through a paraxial ABCD optical system with an annual aperture are derived. As special cases, the corresponding closed-forms for the unaperture or circular aperture or circular black screen cases are also given. The results provide more convenience for studying their propagation and transformation than the usual way by using diffraction integral formula directly. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the propagation properties of Bessel–Gaussian and QBG beams.
