We introduce an asymmetry in the core of a high charge optical vortex by using an appropriate computer generated hologram. The splitting of a high charge optical vortex core into unit charge vortices has been found to depend on the extent of the asymmetry. For a second order vortex, the trajectories of the split unit charged vortices and their separation have been recorded as a function of change in the asymmetry of the core. We find a good agreement between the experimentally obtained and numerically calculated results. (C) 2011 Optical Society of America
