propagation direction a helical wavefront Waves having a Phase Dislocation Yoav Schechner
helical wavefront surface local k-vectors local k-vectors (normals to the wavefront surface) have azimuthal component kvector : momentum propagation direction orbital angular momentum in the wave Waves having a Phase Dislocation Yoav Schechner
propagation direction propagation direction Isotropic dislocation: helical wavefront Anisotropic Dislocations Anisotropic dislocation Parameterizations • Physical: • Superposition of isotropic waves • Dark fringe: annihilation of isotropic dislocations • Angular momentum • Morphological: • Stretch angle • Eccentricity • Dark fringe: a limit of eccentricity Schechner & Shamir
