Polarization Evolution of a Vector Vortex Optical Field in a Strongly Nonlocal Nonlinear Medium

The evolution of a vector vortex optical field (VVOF) with a spiral phase and azimuthally-variant polarization distributions in the field cross-section in a strongly nonlocal nonlinear (SNN) medium is demonstrated. The dynamics of interplay between the singular points of polarization and vortex duri...
