Round-to-flat transformation of angular-momentum-dominated beams

A study of round-to-flat configurations, and vice versa, of angular-momentum-dominated beams is presented. The beam propagation in an axial magnetic field is described in terms of the familiar Courant-Snyder formalism by using a rotating coordinate system. The discussion of the beam transformation i...
