A <strong>study</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>propagation</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>cosh</strong>-<strong>squared</strong>-<strong>Gaussian</strong> <strong>beam</strong>... 901<br />
In order to calculate the integral we should select a form <strong>of</strong> hard aperture function<br />
introduced in many references [23–26]. We use one given in Ref. [24]:<br />
tx ( ) An (8)<br />
a<br />
where An and Bn are the expansion and <strong>Gaussian</strong> coefficients, respectively, which can<br />
be obtained directly from computation <strong>of</strong> relations [25, 26].<br />
By substituting relations (1), (3), and (8) into relation (7), and performing tedious<br />
integration:<br />

Relations (10) to (12) are the general expressions, which are valid within<br />
the paraxial approximation. Then, apart from the standard focal length f s and<br />
FRFT order p, the intensity distributions on FRFT plane depend on the truncation<br />
parameter δ as well.<br />
We see that whenever a/w 0 →∞, Eq. (10) reduces to Eq. (4). Also, for Ω =0<br />
Eqs. (4) and (10) reduce to the optical field distributions <strong>of</strong> <strong>Gaussian</strong> <strong>beam</strong> passing<br />
<strong>through</strong> ideal and apertured FRFT systems, respectively, as one expects.<br />
Although Eqs. (10) to (12) are the approximate analytical expressions, they provide<br />
a more convenient method for <strong>study</strong>ing the <strong>propagation</strong> characteristics <strong>of</strong> a flattened<br />
<strong>Gaussian</strong> <strong>beam</strong> <strong>through</strong> the two types <strong>of</strong> apertured FRFT systems than those using<br />
the diffraction integral formula directly.<br />
