For \(0<| q| <1\) the author defines the two parameter family of generalized \(q\)-exponential functions \[ E_{q,\beta}^{(\alpha)}(z):= \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{q^{\alpha n^2/2}z^n}{(q^{\beta};q)_n}, \] where \(\alpha\in\mathbb{R}\). These functions generalize the well-known \(q\)-exponential functions \(e_q(z)\) and \(E_q(z)\). Several elementary properties are derived which generalize well-known results for the classical \(q\)-exponential functions. It is also shown that for \(0\leq\alpha\leq 1/2\) \[ E_{q,\beta}^{(\alpha+1/2)}(te^{-kx}) e^{-x^2/2}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}} \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{ixy-y^2/2} E_{q,\beta}^{(\alpha)}(te^{iky})\,dy, \] which denotes the Fourier-Gauss transform of \(E_{q,\beta}^{(\alpha)}(z)\). For \(1/2<\alpha\leq 1\) a similar formula is derived.
