Abstract

Space-time dynamics of singularities and optical diabolos birth, transformations and annihilation in developing generic light fields was measured first by elaborated technique of high time-resolution digital Stokes polarimetry. Duration of singularities and diabolos "life" is defined by many-step topological reactions between hyperbolic and elliptic diabolos.
