- We experimentally generate vector Mathieu-Gauss beams, a family of structured light beams that belong to the broader class of vector Helmholtz-Gauss beams. Preliminary results for the TM-type solution demonstrate excellent agreement with theoretical predictions. The inhomogeneous transverse polarization distribution is characterized using the Stokes parameters, while the optical concurrence confirms a high degree of purity. These findings contribute to the understanding and control of structured vector beams.
