title: Cross-polarization of linearly polarized Hermite-Gauss laser beams.
abstract: Evolution of transverse intensity profiles for the dominant and cross-polarization components of linearly polarized Hermite-Gauss laser beams is studied experimentally as the beams propagate away from their waist. Measured intensity profiles and their evolution with propagation are in good agreement with the theoretical predictions.
