Angular momentum of electromagnetic field in areas of optical singularities

2004 
It is shown that polarization singularities of vector field are connected with the presence or absence of the angular momentum of electromagnetic field. Namely, in the vicinity of C -point the orbital angular momentum is observed, while the spin momentum is indefinite (vanishes) on the s -contour.
