Abstract

It is suggested to use a singular beam of unit topological charge in a scheme of vortex shearing interferometer intended for the observation of isoclinic fringes. In the interference pattern, the regions of fringe splitting determine the localization of wavefront dislocations and exhibit a shift that depends on the beam splitter rotation angel. Using the proposed method, it is possible to evaluate small angles of beam splitter rotation with an accuracy determined by the interference fringe width.
