Based on the linear superposition of the odd and even modes of the Ince-Gaussian (IG) beam, a novel V-shaped IG beam mode is proposed, called as V-shaped Ince-Gaussian mode (VIG mode), in which each light petal has a V-shaped structure. The experimental and numerical simulation results show that the number of V-shaped petals is twice as much as the order of the VIG mode. Given an initial phase difference between the odd and even modes, each V-shaped petal in VIG modes is split into a large and a small light petals. Moreover, this splitting process is freely controlled and the spatial positions of these two separated petals are able to exchange. The analysis of the force field of the VIG mode shows that the VIG mode is expected to be a candidate beam for cell sorting. Further, if the linear superposition is conducted by two even modes and one odd mode with order ratio of 1∶3∶2, a three branches VIG mode can be generated.
