AbstractAn optical vortex can appear when a light beam with nonzero angular momentum propagates in a suitable nonlinear medium. In some situations has been observed that the light intensity vanish at the center of the vortex (where the phase of the electromagnetic field is undefined), while the light beam assumes a ring-shaped structure. In this paper we consider two classical cases in which such kind of phenomena occur: the case of the self focusing cubic nonlinearity, and the case of competing quintic and cubic nonlinearity. In both cases we study the nonlinear Schrödinger equation of the optical field (with various boundary conditions) by means of min-max methods, and we prove the existence of saddle point type solutions, as well as minimum type solutions.

We report the first observations and the mechanism of natural nucleation, propagation and annihilation of optical vortices in a laser beam with initially smooth Gaussian wave front passed through self-focusing photorefractive strontium barium niobate crystal. Wave-front distortions due to the formation of thermal-induced nonlinear lens lead to the origin of phase singularities. Pairs of opposite topological charge screw wave-front dislocations nucleate and annihilate through a formation of limited edge dislocations. In a free-space propagation the alternating sign vortices array nested in the beam has the form of quadruple.
