Abstract: Polarization and energy flux density of an electromagnetic field for the vector paraxial Gaussian light beams with the homogeneous and nonhomogeneous polarization of various types are discovered and explored. Some new types of the vector paraxial Gaussian light beams, for example, beams with spiral elliptic polarization are featured.

Keywords: paraxial beams, vector beams, light beams, Gaussian beams, polarizable properties, energy properties, nonhomogeneous polarization.
