Birth and propagation of optical vortices in helico-conical optical beams

Singular optical physics is a new branch of optics that deals primarily with optical vortices. An optical vortex is a line of phase singularity where the complex scalar field vanishes at its position. At the center of the vortex, the phase gradient is infinite and the intensity of the beam vanishes...
