The transverse beam pattern, usually observed in experiment, is a result of averaging the optical-frequency oscillations of the electromagnetic field distributed over the beam cross section. An analytical criterion is derived that these oscillations are coupled with a sort of rotation around the beam axis. This criterion appears to be in direct relation with the usual definition of the beam orbital angular momentum.
