Abstract

In Young's experiment, we investigate the interference of two bichromatic vector beams, focusing on the conditions for generating Lissajous-type polarization singularities on the observation screen. This marks the first demonstration of the singular behavior of polarization in a two-frequency field in Young's interference experiment.
