Abstract
We establish a localized approximation to evaluate the beam-shape coefficients of a Gaussian beam in elliptical cylinder coordinates. As for the case of spherical coordinates and of circular cylinder coordinates, this approximation provides an efficient way to speed up computations within the framework of a generalized Lorenz–Mie theory for elliptical cylinders.
