ABCD matrix formalism for propagation of Gaussian beam through left-handed material slab system

We apply a simple ABCD matrix formalism to investigate beam propagation in left-handed material (LHM) slab systems. Firstly, we derive the expressions for the matrix elements for a single LHM slab. Based on the ABCD matrix, we obtain the field distributions both inside and outside the LHM slab, and the conditions for focusing and phase compensation of the Gaussian beam. Secondly, the derived ABCD law is applied to analyze the propagation properties of Gaussian beams through various cascaded LHM slab systems. The corresponding focusing and phase compensation conditions of the Gaussian beam are also obtained. Our theoretic formalism may be applied as a compact and effective tool for the research of light beam propagation in complex LHM slab systems, since it avoids the complicated integral operation.     

Focusing and phase compensation of paraxial beams by a left-handed material slab

On the basis of angular spectrum representation, a formalism describing paraxial beams propagating through an isotropic left-handed material (LHM) slab is presented. The treatment allows us to introduce the ideas of beam focusing and phase compensation by LHM slab. Because of the negative refractive index of LHM slab, the inverse Gouy phase shift and the negative Rayleigh length of paraxial Gaussian beam are proposed. It is shown that the phase difference caused by the Gouy phase shift in right-handed material (RHM) can be compensated by that caused by the inverse Gouy phase shift in LHM. If certain matching conditions are satisfied, the intensity and phase distributions at object plane can be completely reconstructed at the image plane.     

Propagation of Gaussian beams family through a Kerr-type left-handed metamaterial

In this paper the propagation of elegant Hermite-cosh-Gaussian, elegant Laguerre Gaussian, and Bessel Gaussian beams through a Kerr left-handed metamaterial(LHM) slab have been studied. A split-step Fourier method is used to investigate the propagation of laser beams through this media. Numerical simulation shows that Gaussian beams have different focusing behaviors in a Kerr LHM slab with positive or negative nonlinearity. Beam focusing happens in slabs with positive nonlinearity and not in slabs with negative nonlinearity; however, negative nonlinearity is required for a Kerr LHM slab to act like a lens. Additionally, the focusing properties of beams can be controlled by controlling the thickness of the slab or the input power of the incident beam. A multilayer structure is also proposed to have beam focusing by thinner slabs and passing longer distances.     

Propagation properties of ultrashort pulsed beams with constant waist width in free space

Based on the Rayleigh diffraction integral and complex analytical signal representation, the strict propagation expression and its Fourier spectrum for ultrashort pulsed Gaussian beams with constant waist width are derived, which have the general applicable advantage, because the paraxial approximation, pulsed envelope representation and far-field approximation are not invoked. The far-field and paraxial expressions are obtained as the special cases of our general results. Numerical calculation results are given to illustrate the spatiotemporal propagation properties of few- and single-cycle pulsed Gaussian beams with constant waist width. A comparison with the paraxial results and previous work is also made.     

Vectorial Nonparaxial Four-Petal Gaussian Beams and Their Propagation in Free Space

The vectorial nonparaxial four-petal Gaussian beam （FPGB） is introduced. The closed-form propagation expressions for the free-space propagation of FPGBs are derived and their more general applicable advantages are illustrated analytically and numerically. Some special interesting cases, in particular the paraxial one, are discussed. It is found that the parameter f = 1/kwo with the k being the wave number and wo being the waist width plays a crucial role in determining the nonparaxiallity of FPGBs. For small values of the f parameter the paraxial approximation is allowable. In the nonparaxial regime the beam order n additionally affects the vectorial and nonparaxial behaviour of FPGBs.

Polychromatic Gaussian beams emitted by dispersive laser resonators

In-vacuum propagation of a polychromatic Gaussian beam emitted by a dispersive laser resonator and its passage through thin plates are studied under following assumptions: optical fields are stationary and plane-polarized, the paraxial wave equation is valid for each monochromatic component of the beam, the waist position and the Rayleigh range depend on wavelength and diffraction edge effects are negligible. Mathematical expressions for beam radius, divergence, beam parameter product and beam propagation factor are obtained. The use of thin plates for waist position achromatization is analyzed.     

Gaussian wave formalism model for propagation of charged-particle beam through a first-order optical systems

An elliptical Gaussian wave formalism model of a charged-particle beam is proposed by analogy with an elliptical Gaussian light beam. In the paraxial approximation, the charged-particle beam can be described as a whole by a complex radius of curvature in the real space domains. Therefore, the propagation and transform of charged-particle beam passing through a first-order optical system is represented by the \textit{ABCD}-like law.As an example of the application of this model, the relation between the beam waist and the minimum beam spot at a fixed target is discussed. The result, well matches that from conventional phase space model, and proves that the Gaussian wave formalism model is highly effective and reasonable.
