Abstract

The general propagation equation of flattened Gaussian beams passing through a paraxial optical ABCD system, where the amplifying and absorbing media with a linear gain and absorption are included, is derived and the applications are illustrated with numerical examples. Keywords: Flattened Gaussian beam(FGB), general propagation equation, ABCD system, linear gain and absorption.
