Abstract
General solutions representing rotations of intensity distributions ar ound and along the propagation axis are derived for the paraxial wave equation. The formation used is a key for understanding and synthesizi ng such waves as experimentally demonstrated. A necessary and sufficie nt condition for rigid rotation as well as limitations on the rotation rate are obtained.
