Abstract:

We construct explicit solutions of the inhomogeneous parabolic wave equation in a linear and quadratic approximation. As examples, oscillating laser beams in a $1D$ parabolic waveguide, spiral light beams in $2D$ varying media and an effect of superfocusing of particle beams in a thin monocrystal film are briefly discussed. Transformations of nonlinear equations into the corresponding autonomous and homogeneous forms are found and a review of important applications is also given.
