Propagation of cosh-Gaussian beams in uniaxial crystals orthogonal to the optical axis

This article presents propagation of cosh-Gaussian beam in uniaxial crystal orthogonal to optical axis. Huygens-Fresnel integral is evaluated in order to find received field. Our results show that beam size increases when refractive index ratio of crystal gets low. On the other hand, intensity distribution becomes off-axis with the change in first cosh argument. Beam evolves into vanishing cosine like distribution lying on y-axis if second cosh argument increases. Although, higher intensities can be seen at close distance for cosh-Gaussian beam with higher arguments, this intensity quickly brings down at longer distances. In light of these, we expect that these results will be used in beam shaping and optical tracking applications.
