Using generalized Huygens-Fresnel diffraction integration, the analytical expression of Hermite-Cosine-Gaussian beams propagating in a gradient-index medium is deduced, and the influence of the gradientindex medium on the propagation properties of Hermite-Cosine-Gaussian beams with this expression is discussed for digital simulation. The results show that when Hermite-Cosine-Gaussian beams propagating in a gradient-index medium, axial intensity emerges spatially cyclical changes and maximum intensity position is related to gradient-index factor β. With the increase of the modulation parameter α , axis maximum intensity decreases and the hollow distribution emerges. In the same propagating plane, with the increasing of the gradient index parameter β , the transmitted intenisty increases at first but then decreases rapidly. And with the increase of α , intensity strength keeps unchanged, but waist width becomes narrowed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
