Abstract

The transformation of the intensity and phase of paraxial optical beams passed uniaxial crystal strictly orthogonal to the optical axis is analysed. Imbedded optical vortex in such case imputes structural disturbance to the phase and intensity distribution after anisotropic media. Considering Left and Right circular polarized components of light, we theoretically and numerically shown the dynamics of phase shaping within the rotating birefringent crystal due to anisotropic diffraction effect. Off-axial vortex experienced tangential shift at the beam component and stimulates appearance of topological pairs in vicinity of beam axis.
