A comparative analysis of several techniques used for diagnostics of phase singularities in the optical vortex beams and fields is per-formed. Both the advantages and shortcomings of implementation and application of those techniques are discussed

Keywords: singular optics, wavefront dislocations, interference, diffraction, Young’s interference experiment
