Abstract
Based on the second moments method and orthogonal basis mode expansion, ana lytical expressions for the M-2-factor and mode coherence coefficients of s inh-Gaussian beams have been derived, thus the coherent-mode decompositions of sinh-Gaussian beams have been made. A simple method has also been propo sed to produce sinh-Gaussian beams in the laboratory.
