Abstract
The "circulatory wave" ("die zirkulierende Welle") put into evidence in 1949 by Wolter (Wolter's vortex) in total reflection is interpreted as a phase defect in the scalar theory of Green and Wolf of 1953, which is the Madelung (hydrodynamic) representation of the optical field. Some comments are added on its possible relevance for the Hamamatsu experiment aimed to clarify the wave-particle duality at the "single photon" level of down-converted laser beams
