Abstract.

A four-frame technique for interferogram analysis is used to measure the transverse phase distribution of nonlinearly split 2D dark beams. Pairs of diametrical phase shifts within each ring are retrieved from the experiment. The result is one of the tests required to denote the formations observed as ring dark solitons.
