Abstract

Based on the method of truncated second-order moments, the analytical expressions of the generalized beam propagation factor for truncated partially coherent cosine-Gaussian and cosh-Gaussian beams are derived. The beam propagation factors of the truncated partially coherent cosine-Gaussian and cosh-Gaussian beams depend on the acentric parameter, the truncation parameter, and the coherent parameter. According to the derived expressions, the beam propagation factors are illustrated and analyzed with numerical examples, and the influences of the different parameters on the beam propagation factors are also discussed in detail.
