Scattering Properties of the Higher-Order Hermite Gaussian Beam

Abstract:

Based on the derivatives between the fundamental and higher-order Hermite Gaussian beam and the Davis’s one-order approximation of slowly varying function, a general expression of the higher-order Hermite Gaussian beam are presented. Scattering characteristics of higher-order off-axis Hermite Gaussian is investigated. Some selected calculations on the effects of the beam waist width and the beam waist center positioning are described.
