摘要
The evolution of a complex beam width parameter g describing focusing or defocusing of a paraxial Gaussian beam is considered as the cause of an additional topalogical (Berry) phase of the electromagnetic field associated with the beam. It is pointed out that the well-known Gouy phase is a special case of such a phase that should arise in general in all symplectic systems. (C) 1995 Optical Society of America
