positions in the beam can be performed by means of a phase plate. The beam inclination relativeto the crystal optical axis results in violating the axial symmetry of the field and the beamsacquire new properties. In particular, we have experimentally and theoretically considered theformation of the single charged optical vortices and analyzed the phenomenon of the beamquadrefringence caused by the transverse shift of the center of gravity in one of the circularlypolarized field component.
