Maxwell-consistent, symmetry- and energy-preserving solutions for ultrashort laser pulse propagation beyond the paraxial approximation

P. González de Alaiza Martínez, G. Duchateau, B. Chimier +4

We analytically and numerically investigate the propagation of ultrashort tightly focused laser pulses in vacuum, with particular emphasis on Hermite-Gaussian and Laguerre-Gaussian…
