Discrete emitters as a source of orbital angular momentum
Generation of light carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) is of fundamental interest due to its applications in a broad range of fields, such as classical and quantum optical communications, and optical micro-manipulation. Light carrying a well defined state of OAM is typically created by imparting an azimuthally varying phase structure onto a plane wave. In this work, we investigate, using n...
متن کاملFast electrical switching of orbital angular momentum modes using ultra-compact integrated vortex emitters.
The ability to rapidly switch between orbital angular momentum modes of light has important implications for future classical and quantum systems. In general, orbital angular momentum beams are generated using free-space bulk optical components where the fastest reconfiguration of such systems is around a millisecond using spatial light modulators. In this work, an extremely compact optical vor...
متن کاملOptical 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 کاملDetection of orbital angular momentum using a photonic integrated circuit
Orbital angular momentum (OAM) state of photons offer an attractive additional degree of freedom that has found a variety of applications. Measurement of OAM state, which is a critical task of these applications, demands photonic integrated devices for improved fidelity, miniaturization, and reconfiguration. Here we report the design of a silicon-integrated OAM receiver that is capable of detec...
متن کاملOrbital angular momentum 25 years on [Invited].
Twenty-five years ago Allen, Beijersbergen, Spreeuw, and Woerdman published their seminal paper establishing that light beams with helical phase-fronts carried an orbital angular momentum. Previously orbital angular momentum had been associated only with high-order atomic/molecular transitions and hence considered to be a rare occurrence. The realization that every photon in a laser beam could ...
