Topological Charge of Light Fields with a Polarization Singularity

We have studied diverse vector and hybrid light fields, including those with multiple polarization singularities, and have derived relationships for polarization singularity indices based on the familiar Berry formula, which is normally utilized to find the topological charge of a scalar vortex ligh...
