Abstract: | Experimental investigations and theoretical-model analyses have been made of the magnetooptic diffraction of light at ferrite garnet magnetic films with a banded domain structure which includes isolated magnetic grating defects in the form of “forks” and “breaks.” An analysis of the magnetic grating structure and the light diffraction field shows that in terms of its action on laser radiation, a banded domain grating is similar to a computer-synthesized phase hologram of an isolated pure screw-wavefront dislocation. It is shown that as a result of magnetooptic diffraction at a magnetic hologram, optical vortices may be reconstructed with a helicoidal wavefront carrying the topological charge l=±1,±2. Zh. Tekh.
