Abstract
In this Letter, Young's double-slit experiment with vector vortex beams is investigated. We present the results for various Poincaré-Hopf index beams of this class considering all four major types. Polarization associated morphological changes in the far-field interference pattern are studied both theoretically and experimentally. The Fraunhofer pattern consists of lattices of polarization singularities of the generic type, located on a line, in a direction perpendicular to the slit. The number of linear lattices varies as a function of Poincaré-Hopf index η of the beam that is diffracted, and the number of intensity nulls occurring along the vertical line is equal to ||.
