Abstract
We introduce the physics of high-order Gaussian beams to the treatment of Gaussian beams in the undergraduate optics course. Of particular interest are Laguerre-Gauss beams, which provide the basis for discussing the new and increasingly important concept of the orbital angular momentum of light. We also describe laboratory exercises that complement the class material.
