Transformation of a high-order edge dislocation to optical vortices (spiral dislocations)

We theoretically show that an astigmatic transformation of an nth-order edge dislocation (a zero-intensity straight line) produces n optical elliptical vortices (spiral dislocations) with unit topological charge at the double focal distance from the cylindrical lens, located on a straight line perpe...
