英文摘要	Based on the plane-wave angular spectrum representation, we derive a formal expression for any light fields propagating in biaxial crystals, and particularly, present an effective numerical method to investigate the propagation behavior for a Gaussian light beam. Unlike uniaxial crystals, we observe the intriguing formation, repulsion and disappearance of vortex pairs, as the refractive indices deviate slightly and gradually from the uniaxial limit. In the Minkowski angular momentum picture, we also investigate the orbital angular momentum dynamics for both left-and right-handed circularly polarized components. Of further interest is the revelation of nonconservation of the angular momentum within the light field during the spin-orbit interactions, and the optical torque per photon that the light exerts on the biaxial crystal is quantified. We interpret these interesting phenomena by the weakly broken rotational invariance of biaxial crystals. The self-consistency of our theory is confirmed by the balance equation describing the conservation law of total angular momentum of filed and crystal in the Minkowski picture.
