Evaluation of laser beams distortions by optical systems

Method of the Gaussian beams distortion evaluation is presented with regard for optical system and free space aberrations. The considered models permit analytical processing and are offered to be used at the initial stages of the optical system design. An example of synthesis of the phase transfer function for the focusing optical system forming the beam, close to the paraxial one, is presented.
