The paper aims at presenting a didactic and self-contained overview of Gauss-Hermite and Gauss-Laguerre laser beam modes. The usual textbook approach for deriving these modes is to solve the Helmoltz electromagnetic wave equation within the paraxial approximation. Here, a different technique is presented: Using the plane wave representation of the fundamental Gaussian mode as seed function, all higher-order beam modes are derived by acting with differential operators on this fundamental solution. Even special beam modes as the recently introduced Bessel beams are easily described within that framework.

The gravito-optic effect
Gravitational waves can diffract light into frequency-shifted sidebands, and a Fabry-Perot heterodyne detector could exploit this to probe high-frequency gravitational waves.

A Unified Framework for UAV-Based Free-Space Quantum Links: Beam Shaping and Adaptive Field-of-View Control
A UAV-to-ground QKD model with grid-based photon capture finds that sub-10 cm beams and tens-of-micro-radian tracking are needed for Mbps raw key rates, with receiver FoV tuned to background and alignment conditions.
