Abstract

The conditions of appearance and the behavior of polarization singularities (C-points) in the cross-section of light beam arising due to nonlinear interaction of elliptically polarized laser beams with a medium with nonlocality of quadratic and cubic optical responses are discussed. The formation dynamics and propagation features of C-points, including pairwise creation and annihilation, for sum-frequency and second harmonic generation, beams self-action and interaction and other nonlinear optical processes are presented. We also discuss the effects accompanying the propagation of ultrashort (several oscillations) elliptically polarized light pulses in nonlinear isotropic gyrotropic medium with frequency dispersion.
