Orbital angular momentum of an astigmatic Hermite-Gaussian beam

An explicit formula for the normalized orbital angular momentum (OAM) of an elliptical Hermite-Gaussian (HG) beam of orders (0, n) focused by a cylindrical lens is obtained. In modulus, this OAM can be both greater and smaller than n. If the cylindrical lens focuses not an elliptical, but a conventi...
