Based on the Collins integral formula, an analytical propagation formula for the anomalous hollow beam passing through a paraxial ABCD optical system is derived and the propagation properties in free space are studied graphically.
Abstract
A theoretical model is proposed to approximately describe an anomalous hollow beam of elliptical symmetry with an elliptical solid core, which was observed in experiment recently [Phys. Rev. Lett.94, 134802 (2005)]. Expressions for the propagation factor and effective beam spot size for the anomalous hollow beam are derived. Based on the Collins integral formula, an analytical propagation formula for the anomalous hollow beam passing through a paraxial ABCD optical system is derived. The propagation properties in free space are studied graphically.

M2-factor of coherent and partially coherent dark hollow beams propagating in turbulent atmosphere.

TL;DR: The numerical results show that the M(2)- factor of a DHB in turbulent atmosphere increases on propagation, which is much different from its invariant properties in free-space, and is mainly determined by the parameters of the beam and the atmosphere.

Generation of hollow Gaussian beams by spatial filtering

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that hollow Gaussian beams can be obtained from Fourier transform of the differentials of a Gaussian beam, and thus they can be generated by spatial filtering in the Fourier domain with spatial filters that consist of binomial combinations of even-order Hermite polynomials.
