Abstract
By means of the vector angular spectrum representation of the electromagnetic beam and the method of stationary phase, the analytical vectorial structure of the Ince–Gaussian beam has been presented in the far field. The amplitude distributions of the Ince–Gaussian beam and its TE and TM terms are investigated in the far field. The extreme cases of the ellipticity parameter tending to infinity or zero are also considered. Although the vectorial structures of different Ince–Gaussian beams are apparently distinct, the ratios of the amplitude distributions of the TE and TM terms to the whole beam amplitude are independent of the parity and the values of the radial and angular elliptic mode numbers. This research reveals the abundant and interesting internal details of the Ince–Gaussian beam in the far field.
