Chapter 2 : using a so - called variance matrix , we studied the propagation and the focusing characteristics of the paraxial light beams . the quantities characterizing the gross features for a paraxial optical beam , such as the beam width , the divergence , the curvature radius of the wavefront , the complex beam parameter q . and the beam quality factor , are related by using variance matrix 第二章:阐述了常数折射率介质中光束的传输和聚焦,建立了表征傍轴光束总的特征的量,如:束宽、衍射发散角、波前曲率半径、复光束参数q与变换矩阵的关系,得到了光束质量因子和变换矩阵行列式的定量关系。
