Experimental demonstration of rotational Doppler-effect due to direct and simultaneous excitation of orthogonal elliptically-polarized fundamental and vortex modes in a two-mode optical fiber is presented here. The rotation frequency and the trajectory of the zero-intensity point in the two-mode fiber output beam measured as a function of analyzer rotation matches with the S-contour of polarization singularity in the beam, identified via Stokes parameter measurement. The characteristics of the S-contour around the C-point in the output beam is also measured as a function of rotating Dove prism and half-wave plate - Dove prism combination to highlight the role of polarization modifying components on the observed rotational Doppler-effect of vector-vortex beams.
