Abstract
The peculiarities of transformation of transverse structure for singular light beams propagating in a resonant medium have been analyzed theoretically. The influence of nonlinear absorption, self-focusing, and defocusing on the characteristics of optical vortices with different topological structure has been studied. The formation conditions and parameters for singular spatially localized structures have been characterized.
