America RT: Journal-Paper AB: Traditional interferometric methods for measuring the vortex structure of complex wave fields suffer from many intrinsic problems and seldom yield results of any accuracy. Using the unique properties of what I call Poincare vortices, I develop a radically different method based on Stokes parameters that offers many practical advantages. The theory of this new method is discussed, and its unique capabilities are illustrated by reconstruction with high accuracy of the vortex structure of a simulated random field containing numerous vortices, including several closely spaced vortex pairs that would be difficult, if not impossible, to resolve by traditional means.

In the linear case, we find a splitting of a plane-wave front at the vortex proportional to its circulation, similar to what occurs in the scattered wave of electrons for the Aharonov-Bohm effect. For larger wave amplitudes, we study analytically and numerically the scattering of a dark-soliton stripe (a nonlinear analog of a small-amplitude wave packet) by a vortex and observe a significant asymmetry of the scattered wave. Subsequently, a wave-front splitting of the scattered wave develops into transverse modulation instability, "unzipping" the stripe into trains of vortices with opposite charges. 19 TI: Transversal optical vortex AU: Pasko,-V.-A.; Soskin,-M.-S.; Vasnetsov,-M.-V.

The vortex self-transformation occurs through continuous deformation of the noncanonical strength of the corresponding screw wave front dislocation, and is mediated by the occurrence of an extremely sharp turn in a Berry vortex trajectory which observed at a Freund critical foliation appears as an edge-line dislocation orthogonal to the propagation direction, at a crucial point of the light evolution.

The system consists of a self-defocusing refractive medium inside a Fabry-Perot cavity with a cylindrical obstacle. We have numerically solved for the transmitted beam when an incident plane wave strikes the cavity at an oblique angle. The presence of the incident beam pins the steady-state phase of the output, preventing the formation of vortices or time-dependent flow. When the incident beam is switched off, a transient wake of moving optical vortices is produced. This is analogous to the breakdown of superfluidity above a critical velocity.
