Abstract: Propagation of gravitational disturbances at the speed of light is one of the key predictions of the General Theory of Relativity. This result is now backed indirectly by the observations of the behaviour of the ephemeris of binary pulsar systems. These new results have in- creased the interest in the mathematical theory of gravitational waves in the last decades and several mathematical approaches have been developed for a better understanding of the solutions. In this paper we develop a modal series expansion technique in which solutions can be built for plane waves from a seed integrable function. The convergence of these series is proven by the Raabe- Duhamel criteria and we show that these solutions are characterized by a well-defined and finite curvature tensor and also a finite energy content.
