Abstract

We consider experimentally the evolution of polarization singularities in singular beams transmitting at some angle to the optical axis of the LiNb0₃ crystals. We focused our attention on the processes of birth and annihilation of coupled singularities and compared them with those in a computer-simulation experiment. The conditions of the unfolding of the polarization singularities were brought to light. A number of difficulties arising in the course of the experiment are discussed.
