Abstract
The existence of elegant Ince–Gaussian beams that constitute a third complete family of exact and biorthogonal elegant solutions of the paraxial wave equation is demonstrated. Their transverse structure is described by Ince polynomials with a complex argument. Elegant Ince–Gaussian beams constitute exact and continuous transition modes between elegant Laguerre–Gaussian and elegant Hermite–Gaussian beams. The expansion formulas among the three elegant families are derived.
