The intensity of a random optical field consists of bright speckle spots (maxima) separated from dark areas (minima and optical vortices) by saddle points. We show that hidden in this complicated landscape are umbilic points--singular points at which the eigenvalues Lambda (+/-) of the Hessian matrix that measure the curvature of the landscape become degenerate. Although not observed previously in random optical fields, umbilic points are the most numerous of all special points, outnumbering maxima, minima, saddle points, and vortices. We show experimentally that the directions of principal curvature, the eigenvectors Psi (+/-), rotate about intensity umbilic points with positive or negative half-integer winding number, in accord with theory, and that Lambda (+) and Lambda (-) generate a double cone known as a diabolo. At optical vortices the curvature of the amplitude is singular, and we show from both theory and experiment that for this landscape Psi (+/-) rotate about vortex centers with a positive integer winding number. Diabolos can be classified as elliptic or hyperbolic, and we present initial results for the measured fractions of these two different types of umbilic diabolos.
