Innovative discoveries involving laser beams and their propagation properties are at the heart of Laser Beam Propagation: Generation and Propagation of Customized Light. This book captures the essence of laser beam propagation. Divided into three parts, it explores the fundamentals of how laser beams propagate, and provides novel methods to describe and characterize general laser beams. Part one covers the physical optics approach to the propagation of optical waves, the concept of plane waves, the mathematical description of diffraction 606 $aLaser beams 615 0$aLaser beams. 676 $a621.36/6 702 $aForbes$b Andrew 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822275103321 996 $aLaser beam propagation$94107733 997 $aUNINA
