Abstract
Employing optical propagation theory in Hankel transform, an analytical model of the optical power spatial distribution is derived for the ideal point optical source and the Gaussian laser, respectively. Experimental measurements of the spatial distribution of a Gaussian laser are presented. The expected results of our analytical model are in good agreement with experimental data.
