Shape-invariance range of a light beam

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A typical axially symmetric light beam on paraxial free propagation maintains the same transverse shape as at the waist plane for a certain range along its axis. We discuss a general procedure for estimating this range.
