摘要
The authors have investigated self-focusing of cosh-Gaussian laser beams in a parabolic medium with linear absorption. The field distribution in the medium is expressed in terms of beam-width parameter f, decentred parameter b and absorption coefficient k(i). The differential equation for f parameter is established by following Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) and paraxial approximations through parabolic wave equation approach and analytical solution is obtained for the same. The behavior of f parameter with the normalized distance of propagation eta is studied at various values of b with different absorption levels in the medium. The results are presented graphically and discussed. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
