Theory of the coherent-mode decomposition of laser beams is proposed.The new model for the flat-topped beams proposed by Li recently is taken as an example.The analytical expressions for the M2-factor and mode coherence coefficients of flat-topped beams have been derived in the rectangular coordinate system,by means of which the mode correlation,mode structure,and coherent-mode decomposition of flat-topped beams can be analysed.
