Abstract
In Chap. 3, we discussed behavior of GRIN lenses illuminated by a uniform monochromatic wave. But, it is well-known that the output modes of most lasers can be simply described by Hermite-Gaussian or Laguerre-Gaussian functions. Therefore, for applications involving the propagation of laser beams, it is important to understand the effect of GRIN lenses on such Gaussian beams since these lenses are used, for instance, in optical fiber communications and optoelectronic systems for manipulating and processing optical signals.
