Direct observation of Gouy phase shift on an optical vortex was presented through investigating the intensity profiles of a modified LG(p)(m) beam with an asymmetric defect, around at the focal point. In addition, the three-dimensional trajectory of the defect was found to describe a uniform straight line. It was quantitatively found that the rotation profile of a modified LG(p)(m) beam manifests the Gouy phase effect where the rotation direction depends on only the sign of topological charge m. This profile measurement method by introducing an asymmetric defect is a simple and useful technique for obtaining the information of the Gouy phase shift, without need of a conventional interference method.
