• 2. [Article] Generalized Beam Matrices: Gaussian Beam Propagation in Misaligned Complex Optical Systems

  A novel 3 × 3 transfer-matrix method is developed to propagate off-axis Gaussian beams in astigmatic optical systems that may include tilted, displaced, or curved optical elements. Unlike in a previous ...

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Generalized Beam Matrices: Gaussian Beam Propagation in Misaligned Complex Optical Systems Author: Tovar, Anthony A., Casperson, Lee W. Year: 1995 A novel 3 × 3 transfer-matrix method is developed to propagate off-axis Gaussian beams in astigmatic optical systems that may include tilted, displaced, or curved optical elements. Unlike in a previous generalized ray matrix formalism, optical elements that possess gain or loss such as Gaussian apertures, complex lenslike media, and amplifiers are included; and a new beam transformation is found. In addition, a novel exponential variable-reflectivity mirror, which displaces a Gaussian beam without changing its spot size, and a complex prismlike medium are introduced.
