Optical orbital angular momentum.
We present a brief introduction to the orbital angular momentum of light, the subject of our theme issue and, in particular, to the developments in the 13 years following the founding paper by Allen et al. (Allen et al. 1992 Phys. Rev. A 45, 8185 (doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.45.8185)). The papers by our invited authors serve to bring the field up to date and suggest where developments may take us next...
متن کاملElectrically controlled transfer of spin angular momentum of light in an optically active medium.
Spin is an intrinsic property of the photon. A method for using an externally applied dc electric field to manipulate the transfer of spin angular momentum of light in an optically active medium is presented. To discuss this, we first develop a wave coupling theory of the mutual action of natural optical activity and the linear electro-optic effect. Besides being used for analyzing the electric...
متن کاملSpin–orbital-angular-momentum coupling in Bose-Einstein condensates
Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) plays a crucial role in many branches of physics. In this context, the recent experimental realization of the coupling between spin and linear momentum of ultracold atoms opens a completely new avenue for exploring new spin-related superfluid physics. Here we propose that another important and fundamental SOC, the coupling between spin and orbital angular momentum (SOA...
متن کاملSpin and Orbital Angular Momentum Distribution Functions of the Nucleon
A theoretical prediction is given for the spin and orbital angular momentum distribution functions of the nucleon within the framework of an effective quark model of QCD, i.e. the chiral quark soliton model. An outstanding feature of the model is that it predicts fairly small quark spin fraction of the nucleon ∆Σ ≃ 0.35, which in turn dictates that the remaining 65% of the nucleon spin is carri...
متن کاملSpin-to-orbital angular momentum conversion in dielectric metasurfaces: erratum.
We would like to clarify our paper [Opt. Express25, 377 (2017)] abstract sentence "These beams carry orbital angular momentum proportional to the number of intertwined helices constituting the wavefront."
