Popis: We theoretically show that an astigmatic transformation of an nth-order edge dislocation (a zero-intensity straight line) produces n optical elliptical vortices (spiral dislocations) with unit topological charge at the double focal distance from the cylindrical lens, located on a straight line perpendicular to the edge dislocation, at points whose coordinates are the roots of an nth-order Hermite polynomial. The orbital angular momentum of the edge dislocation is proportional to the order n.
