Analytical and rigorous solutions of Maxwell equations for Gaussian beams have been derived, without using paraxial approximation. Vectorial formulation of high-order Gaussian beams including Laguerre–Gaussian-like beams and optical vortices were obtained. These analytical solutions are useful and effective for understanding the beam characteristics.
