  • Abstract
    In the present paper, we discuss the construction of a modified optical vortex birefringent interferometer to reconstruct the unfolding point of an optical vortex beam propagating through a birefringent crystal. The polarization structure near the unfolding point is mapped by measuring the phase difference between the eigen beams of birefringent crystal.
