Abstract:
The analytical expressions in closed form are proposed and investigated for various types of decentered circular Kummer – Gauss light beams. Various options are analyzed, including both new types of beams and special cases involving well-known Laguerre – Gauss beams. The constraints on free parameters are formulated so that such decentered Kummer – Gauss beams carry finite power. The influence of various free parameters on the intensity patterns of such beams is investigated graphically.
