The complex parameter D is related to the current beam width w and radius of the phase front curvature r as D=2k w2 +ir. Supposing that Z=0 is the focal point, one has D0 =2k w02 and r0. We assume that the beam is paraxial, which implies that krkw1 or kD1 and gives grounds for evaluation of integrals at formal limit k→. Our approximation is valid at distances much larger than the Rayleigh range, at least, unless kZ∼(k w0) 4, where the neglected terms κ4 Z k3 from kZ Z become of the order of unity. Moreover, it can be shown that the main results hold true even at larger distances.
