How to Evaluate Integrals Involving Bessel Functions and Exponential Terms?

Click For Summary
To evaluate the integral involving Bessel functions and exponential terms, the suggested method for limits from 0 to infinity is to use Weber's double integral. For other limits, a closed form solution may not exist. The zero-order Bessel function is denoted as J, with 'i' representing a complex number and 'a' and 'b' as constants. For further insights, consulting "Watson: A Treatise on the Theory of Bessel Functions" is recommended. This approach can aid in effectively tackling integrals in optical field research.

I am doing a research degree in optical fields and ended up with the following integral in my math model. can you suggest any method to evaluate this integral please. Thanks in advance

∫(j(x) *e^(ax^2+ibx^2) dx


J --> zero order bessel function
i--. complex
a & b --> constants

If the limits are from 0 to infinity it can be easily evaluated using Webers double integral.
for other limits I don't think a close form exists.
Check: Watson: A treatise on the theory of Bessel functions
