Optical Vortices

Optical Vortices is a singular optical phenomenon characterized by a helical phase front and a dark core of zero intensity, arising from the azimuthal phase singularity in a coherent wavefield, where the local wavefront twists around the propagation axis, distinguishing it from non-singular structured light beams in the context of wave optics.
