Abstract:
A model of the generalized dark hollow sine-Gaussian beam (GDHsGB) is proposed to uniformly describe both conventional dark hollow beams (DHBs) and anomalous dark hollow beams (ADHBs) with circular or elliptic geometrical patterns. Using the Collins formula, we derive the analytical expression for GDHsGBs propagating in ABCD paraxial optical systems. We analyze the evolution of the intensity pattern and beam width of circular ADHBs, as well as the ellipticity of elliptic ADHBs, providing mathematical expressions for these physical quantities. The results reveal various evolution forms based on beam parameters, with elliptic ADHBs exhibiting more intricate propagation behavior compared to circular ADHBs. By controlling parameters, the intensity pattern of elliptic ADHBs undergoes a transformation into a petal-like distribution in the near field, later reverting to its original elliptic configuration but rotated 90° from its initial orientation on the source plane in the far field.
