Abstract
We study the propagating and shaping characteristics of the novel one-dimensional Cartesian Parabolic-Gaussian beams. The transverse profile is described by the parabolic cylinder functions and are apodized by a Gaussian envelope. Their physical properties are studied in detail by finding the 2n -order intensity moments of the beam. Propagation through complex ABCD optical systems, normalization factor, beam width, the quality M 2 factor and its kurtosis parameter are derived. We discuss its behavior for different beam parameters and the relation between them. The Cartesian Parabolic-Gaussian beams carry finite power and form a biorthogonal set of solutions of the paraxial wave equation in Cartesian coordinates.
