In this paper, the propagation properties of hollow Gaussian beams (HGBs) are discussed in detail when they are off-waist incident in strongly nonlocal media. A set of mathematic expressions are given to describe the evolutions of the beam intensity, the beam width, and the real beam radius. Numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate these propagation properties depended on the off-waist incidence. It is found that a HGB always periodically transforms its transverse patterns during propagation. Accordingly, the beam width an...
