Abstract A relativistic electron in helical undulator emits an optical vortex which carries orbital angular momentum. Sasaki and McNulty predicted theoretically that higher harmonics of helical undulator is optical vortex* and the experimental verification was made at BESSY** and UVSOR-III***. Further, we have made a systematic study to characterize the optical vortex from a helical undulator at UVSOR-III. Synchrotron radiation in UV region from an optical klystron undulator system consisting of two APPLE-II helical undulators and a buncher was used for the experiment. Patterns resulting from inferences between two undulator radiation carrying different angular momentums were clearly observed. To investigate the optical properties of the radiation, diffraction experiments were carried out. Specific diffraction patterns due to the phase singularity in the radiation center were clearly observed. The experimental results are compared with simulation.
