Abstract
We study the propagation of generalized Bessel-Gauss beams through ABC D optical systems, starting from a representation in terms of tilted a nd shifted Gaussian beams. We show that generalized Bessel-Gauss beams constitute a class of fields whose mathematical expression remains th e same after any paraxial transformation, and give the explicit form o f the propagated field.
