Abstract
- Based on the vector angular spectrum representation and the method of stationary phase, the vectorial structural characteristics of a higher-order cosh-Gaussian (HOCG) beam in the far field are investigated. Analytical expressions for the energy flux distributions of the TE term, TM term and the whole beam are derived and illustrated by numerical examples. Influences of beam orders and cosh parameters on energy flux distributions are analyzed, respectively. Furthermore, the discrepancy for the total energy flux distributions between the non-paraxial and paraxial cases is presented and analytical explanations for the phenomenon are also given.
