Abstract

Based on an operator transformation technique and the nonparaxial propagation results of linearly polarized Gaussian beams, the nonparaxial propagation formulas of linearly polarized modified Bessel–Gaussian beams with optical vortices are constructed. Numerical investigations indicate that electromagnetic field components associated with the beams exhibit different phase singularities.
