چکیده
We generalized the nonparaxial field components of Laguerre-Gaussian and flattened Gaussian beams obtained using the angular spectrum method to include symmetric radial and angular expansions and simplified them using an approximate evaluation of the integral equations for the field components. These field components possess series expressions in orders of a natural expansion parameter, which clarifies the physical interpretation of the series expansion. A connection between Laguerre-Gaussian and flat-top Gaussian profiles is obtained.

Effects of intense laser pulse properties on wake field acceleration in magnetized plasma: Half-Sine Shape (HSS) and Gaussian Shape (GS) pulses
In this paper, we have simulated the excitation of wake fields in the interaction of an intensive laser pulses having Half-Sine and Gaussian time envelopes with a fully ionized cold plasma using particle in cell (PIC) method. We investigated the dependency of wake filed amplitude to different laser and plasma parameters such as laser wavelength, pulse duration and electron number density. In ad...
متن کاملOrbital angular momentum of Laguerre-Gaussian beams beyond the paraxial approximation.
We derive a full field solution for Laguerre-Gaussian beams consistent with the Helmholtz equation using the angular spectrum method. Field components are presented as an order expansion in the ratio of the wavelength to the beam waist, f=λ/(2πw₀), which is typically small. The result is then generalized to a beam of arbitrary polarization. This result is then used to reproduce the signature an...
متن کاملAnalytical solutions for the electromagnetic fields of flattened and annular Gaussian laser modes. I. Small F-number laser focusing
Many laser interaction models assume that incident focused laser fields are Gaussian and use either the approximate TEM00 series model or the exact integral Gaussian angular-spectrum solution. Many practical laser systems, however, produce flat-top transverse intensity profiles, and indeed, such profiles are often desired. Here, an exact, integral solution is derived for all of the vector compo...

متن کاملThe Poynting vector in Laguerre-Gaussian laser modes
It is found that the rotation of the Poynting vector of a Laguerre-Gaussian laser mode is proportional to the Gouy phase and for most cases of interest, rotates through less than one revolution in reaching the far field. For a p=O mode, we show the expression for the rotation is particularly simple and independent of 1. At the radius corresponding to maximum intensity, it yields a rotation of o...
