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