Abstract

We make use of the well-known integral representation of Bessel function in order to derive higher-order rotational electromagnetic waves. For this purpose, we employ the simplest weighting function in carrying out an azimuthal averaging of an E-parallel-H wave. To our surprise, the resulting wave turns out to describe interactions between two co-rotational waves with a half-cycle phase difference. In addition, we will provide both implications of the resulting waves concerning optical vortices and relevant technical applications.
