Description

Propagation of a dark hollow beam (DHB) of circular, elliptical or rectangular symmetry through an apertured paraxial ABCD optical system is investigated. Approximate analytical formulas for various DHBs propagating through an apertured paraxial optical system are derived by expanding the hard-aperture function into a finite sum of complex Gaussian functions in terms of a tensor method. Some numerical results are given. Our formulas provide a convenient way for studying the propagation of various DHBs through an apertured paraxial optical system
