Abstract
Prof. Roland V. Shack made many contributions to the fields of optical engineering through his unique observations and insightful interpretations to complex topics. One of the unique tools that I learned from Prof. Shack’s work is his teaching of graphical methods to Gaussian beam propagation and imaging. In this presentation, I will review the graphical methods to Gaussian beam interpretation developed by Prof. Shack and demonstrate examples of how the graphical methods can be used for propagating and imaging Gaussian beam in optical systems. The examples are primarily derived from what I learned from Prof. Shack’s notes and how I applied his method to my teaching in an undergraduate laboratory course.
