Abstract
We present a method for the generation of an axial phase dislocation on a wave front, which is induced by topological properties of polarized light. This effect is shown to be useful for conversion of bright nondiffracting beams into dark nondiffracting beams. Experiments showing the generation of dark nondiffracting beams have been performed.
