Following our earlier work (F. Flossmann et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 95 253901 ( 005)), we describe the fine polarization structure of a beam containing optical vortices propagating through a birefringent crystal, both experimentally and theoretically. We emphasize here the zero surfaces of the Stokes parameters in three-dimensional space, two transverse dimensions and the third corresponding to optical path length in the crystal. We find that the complicated network of polarization singularities reported earlier lines of circular polarization (C lines) and surfaces of linear polarization (L surfaces) - can be understood naturally in terms of the zeros of the Stokes parameters.
