We derive analytical formulae for the complex amplitudes of variants of generalized Hermite–Gaussian (HG) and Laguerre–Gaussian (LG) beams. We reveal that, at particular values of parameters of the exact solution of the paraxial propagation equation, these generalized beams are converted into conventional elegant HG and LG beams. We also deduce variants of asymmetric HG and LG beams that are described by complex amplitudes in the form of Hermite and Laguerre polynomials whose argument is shifted into the complex plane. The asymmetric HG and LG beams are, respectively, shown to present the finite superposition of the generalized HG and LG beams. We also derive an explicit relationship for the complex amplitude of a generalized vortex HG beam, which is built as the finite superposition of generalized HG beams with phase shifts. Newly introduced asymmetric HG and LG beams show promise for the study of the propagation of beams carrying an orbital angular momentum through the turbulent atmosphere. One may reasonably believe that the asymmetric laser beams are more stable against turbulence when compared with the radially symmetric ones. |
