Propagation properties of Gaussian beams through the anamorphic fractional Fourier transform system with an eccentric circular aperture

As known, it is important for the propagation of Gaussian beams in optics. In this paper, based on the expanding a hard-edge circular aperture function as a finite sum of complex Gaussian functions and the scalar Rayleigh–Sommerfeld diffraction formula, an approximation analytical solution for Gaussian beams propagating through the anamorphic fractional Fourier transform system with an eccentric circular aperture is performed. Then, the detailed numerical calculation for the two-dimensional Gaussian beams in the above-mentioned optical system is presented. The simulation also shows that different location and size of aperture result in the change of diffracted field, including location, intensity and width. All these characteristics help us understand Gaussian beams propagation better.
