The concept of the dual of a beam is discussed. The duals of Bessel-Gauss beams, elegant Hermite- or Laguerre-Gaussian beams and generalized Hermite- or Laguerre-Gauss beams are described. Duality is considered within the framework of hypergeometric beams in Cartesian and polar coordinates. The connection with the "modified Laguerre-Gauss" beam is discussed.
