Abstract

The fractional Fourier transform (FRT) for a hollow Gaussian beam (HGB) is investigated. Based on the definition of FRT in the cylindrical coordinate system, analytical formulae are derived for the FRT for a HGB. By using the derived formulae, the properties of a HGB in the FRT plane are illustrated numerically. The derived formulae provide a convenient way for analyzing and calculating the FRT of a HGB.
