The spin angular momentum and the extrinsic orbital angular momentum of light are associated with the polarization of light and the light propagation trajectory, respectively. Those momenta are interdependent not only in an inhomogeneous or anisotropic medium but even in free space. This interaction is called the spin-orbit interaction of light. The effects of the spin-orbit interaction of light manifest themselves in a small transverse shift of the beam field longitudinal component from the beam propagation axis in the waist region under the circular polarization sign change. They can be observed both for Gaussian beams and for structured beams. The effects of the spin-orbit interaction of light should be taken into account when nanophotonics devices are created, but the detailed investigation of the effect had not been performed yet due to the low intensity noise image of the beam waist. Precise measurements of the focal waist centerline are needed to determine the transverse shift of the beam field longitudinal component of the asymmetric converging beam's waist under the circular polarization sign change. We propose methods for determining the transverse and longitudinal positions of the beam waist. Computer image processing methods made it possible to obtain the value of the beam waist's transverse position with an accuracy of 0.1 mkm. These methods will allow further testing of the shifts' theoretical predictions, the values of which are the order of 1 mkm. The results obtained can also be used for laser processing of materials by polarized light and precise positioning of the beam's focal spot at a surface.
