Abstract
Using the Hankel transform, we obtain, in their most general form, the spinor solutions of Maxwell's equations in free space for a light beam propagating along 0z with cylindrical symmetry around 0z. Then we compute a paraxial approximation of these solutions and we discuss the case of Gaussian beams. A comparison of the spinor solutions with the scalar ones supplied by the parabolic equation is also given.
