Abstract

An exact solution of Einstein’s equations that corresponds to an axisymmetric bundle of electromagnetic waves with finite cross section is presented. Outside this bundle, there is gravitational radiation parallel to the electromagnetic radiation. If no static electromagnetic fields are present, the frequency of the gravitational waves is twice the frequency of the electromagnetic waves. Einstein’s energy complex vanishes identically. The covariant energy complex however yields a radial momentum.
