Propagation properties of beams generated by Gaussian mirror resonator in fractional Fourier transform plane

Based on the definition of the fractional Fourier transform (FRFT) and irradiance moments in the cylindrical coordinate system, the propagation expressions and kurtosis parameter of beams generated by Gaussian mirror resonator passing through the ideal fractional Fourier transformation systems are obtained. The propaga-tion properties and kurtosis parametric characteristic of the beams in the FRFT plane are analyzed in detail. Some numerical examples are given to illustrate the analytical results. The influences of the fractional order on the intensity distribution and the kurtosis parameter of the beams are also investigated. The results show that the intensity distribution and the kurtosis parameter of the beams in the FRFT plane are closely related to the fractional order and beam parameters.
