Abstract: | The authors have investigated self-focusing of cosh-Gaussian laser beams in a parabolic medium with linear absorption. The field distribution in the medium is expressed in terms of beam-width parameter f, decentred parameter b and absorption coefficient ki. The differential equation for f parameter is established by following Wentzel–Kramers–Brillouin (WKB) and paraxial approximations through parabolic wave equation approach and analytical solution is obtained for the same. The behavior of f parameter with the normalized distance of propagation η is studied at various values of b with different absorption levels in the medium. The results are presented graphically and discussed. |
