Orbital angular momentum of inhomogeneous electromagnetic field produced by polarized optical beams

It is shown that the polarization singularities of vector field are connected with the presence or absence of the angular momentum of electromagnetic field. In the vicinity of C-point the orbital angular momentum is observed. Direction of influence of such orbital angular momentum is defined by the sign of topological charge of vibration phase in this area. Spin angular momentum of a field vanishes on the s-contour. At the same time similar momentum appears if the resulting field is formed by the waves with different wavelengths.
