Abstract. For modeling of the transmissions of Hermite-Gaussian beam modes through the optical system  it is proposed to replace the Hermite-Gaussian beam to a set of basic radiating systems. Each base radiating system consists of a thin lens, emitting area and amplitude filter in the plane of the lens. The sequence of base radiating systems creates at each point of the flux density of the radiation energy, which is directly proportional to the square of the modulus of the amplitude modes Hermite-Gaussian beam. As an example, the simulation of the transmission modes Hermite-Gaussian beam through a single lens is considered.
