Default Optical vortices show their true colours

Ref: http://physicsweb.org/article/news/7/11/12

Physicists at Glasgow University in the UK have observed for the first
time the hidden colours that were recently predicted to exist in "dark
light" (J Leach and M Padgett 2003 New J. Phys. 5 154). Dark light is
produced when two or more beams of light interfere destructively and
cancel each other out to form a spot that appears completely black to the
human eye.
