Abstract

A new kind of light beam called the elliptical Laguerre–Gaussian beam (ELGB) is proposed in this paper in terms of tensor method. The propagation formula of ELGB through axially asymmetric optical system is derived by the generalized Collins integral. By using this formula, the propagation of ELGB in free space is calculated and discussed. The results show that the propagation behavior of ELGBs is notably different from that of LGBs.
