The temporal Fresnel number in terms of ray matrix elements
By using the analogy between temporal ray matrix and the well known ray matrix, the temporal Fresnal number, which gives the qualitative and quasiquantita-tive characteristics (shape, width and chirp) of optical pulses, is derived. A concept of "effective propagation time" is introduced. Several typical examples are discussed.
