Abstract
The virtual source for generation of rotational symmetric Lorentz-Gaussian
(RLG) wave whose propagating dynamics present the rotational symmetry is identified.
Closed-form expressions, including integral and differential representations, are
derived for this kind of Lorentz-Gaussian (LG) wave, thereby yielding paraxial
approximation of the RLG beam in the appropriate regime. From the spectral
representation of this wave, the first three order corrections of nonparaxial
approximations are determined for a corresponding paraxial RLG beam. Moreover, the
relationship between the RLG beam and the Hermite-Gaussian beam is revealed.
