Kurtosis parameter of truncated standard and elegant Laguerre–Gaussian beams propagating through ABCD optical systems

On the basis of the propagation equation of truncated standard and elegant Laguerre–Gaussian beams, the closed-form propagation expressions for the kurtosis parameter K of standard and elegant Laguerre–Gaussian beams passing through apertured optical systems are derived, it is shown that the kutosis parameter K of standard and elegant Laguerre–Gaussian beams depend on order p and index m of Laguerre polynomial, the beam-truncated parameter δ and the generalized Fresnel number F. Detailed numerical examples are given to illustrate the analytical results.
