What Does HGTF Stand For?

HGTF stands for Hermite Gaussian Type Function

HGTF, or Hermite Gaussian Type Function, is a mathematical function characterized by the product of Hermite polynomials and Gaussian functions. It is widely used in various fields, including optics, quantum mechanics, and signal processing, due to its properties of localization and orthogonality. HGTFs are particularly significant in the analysis and representation of electromagnetic fields, wavefronts, and in the study of systems employing Gaussian beams.
