A Gaussian laser beam can be propagated through an optical system (consisting of free space, thin lenses, curved and flat interfaces, etc) by using the "ABCD" ray-transfer matricesray-transfer matrices, and the complex beam parameter qcomplex beam parameter $\tilde{q}$.

A higher-order Hermite-Gauss or Laguerre-Gauss laser beam will gain Gouy phase more quickly than the fundamental Gaussian mode. Is there a simple modification to the complex beam parameter propagation that will also work for these higher order modes?
