Abstract
To solve the problem of the infinite transverse energy of the pure Bes sel beam, a new beam is introduced, which has a Gaussian envelope. Usi ng the Bessel differential equation, we look for a series solution inv olving a Gaussian weighting function. Compared with the Bessel-Gauss b eam, this new beam shows much less diffraction on propagation.
