摘要
In this work, we analyze the behavior of topological defects of optical indicatrix orientation induced by a conically shaped electric field in crystals in a crossover regime that appears at intermediate fields separating the regimes of prevailing Pockels and Kerr electro-optic nonlinearities. We have found that increases in the electric voltage applied to a crystal induce neither topological defects, with the strengths being not multiples of 1/2, or the optical vortices with fractional charges. Instead, there appear some additional topological defects of the optical indicatrix orientation, the behavior of which we have studied in detail. (C) 2014 Optical Society of America
