Description

We numerically investigate the evolution of the optical vortex density in a speckle field after its continuous phase is removed, in other words, after it has been phase corrected. We found that it initially drops to 70% and then increases to 88% of the initial density. The rate of decrease is an order of magnitude faster than the rate of increase.
