Abstract
The splitting of a single optical vortex into four separate ones in a singular beam is theoretically and experimentally described for the propagation of light obliquely through a uniaxial crystal. Also we found the condition under which the new-born vortices in each four individual beams propagate independently without dislocation reactions and have different locations in all beams for any crystal lengths.
