“…We call q L the Gaussian beam parameter immediately in front of the lens and q R the beam parameter immediately behind the lens, where the parameters are illustrated in Fig. 36 Scheme showing the complex beam parameters for the transformation of a Gaussian beam from a plane at distance d 1 in front of a lens (with focal length f ) to a plane at distance d 2 behind the lens Then we have Fig.…”

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.
