Abstract:
A mathematical model of the spatial distribution of the radiation flux in a multimode Hermite-Gaussian beam is proposed. In this model, the spatial distribution of the radiation flux is described by rays with radiation fluxes strung on them. A feature of the proposed model is that the radiation fluxes strung on the beams are added algebraically.

Keywords:
Hermite-Gaussian beam, geometrical optics, computer simulations, ray tracing.
