Abstract
We investigate theoretically and experimentally the propagation characteristics of the Helical Hermite-Gauss beams corresponding to the helical Ince-Gauss beams in the limit of infinite ellipticity. Particular attention is paid to the transverse irradiance structure, the orbital angular momentum density, and the vortex distribution.
