Ince Gaussian Beam
This function calculates the Ince Gaussian beams that constitute the third complete family of exact and orthogonal solutions of the paraxial wave equation in elliptic coordinates and that are transverse eigenmodes of stable laser resonators. The transverse shape of these modes is described by the Ince polynomials and is structurally stable under propagation. Ince–Gaussian modes constitute the exact and continuous transition modes between Laguerre and Hermite Gaussian modes.
