Abstract
C-point beams are reported to reconstruct themselves on propagation after being obstructed by an opaque symmetric triangular obstruction. The component scalar vortices of this polarization singular beam manage to maintain a relative phase and intensity value to regain their polarization, intensity, and Stokes phase structure. This self-healing property of vortex beams is related to the Poynting vector rotation of such beams. This property of the C-point can be used for meaningful applications in the field of robust optical communication and microscopy.
