Expansion of a Plane Wave into Gaussian Beams

Expansion of a Plane Wave into Gaussian Beams

An integral expansion which expresses a plane monochromatic wave as a superposition of Gaussian beams is found. The expansion can be used to solve many wave propagation problems in complicated structures, including laterally inhomogeneous media with curved interfaces.
