Orbital angular momentum exchange in an optical parametric oscillator
We present a study of orbital angular momentum transfer from pump to down-converted beams in a type-II optical parametric oscillator. Cavity and anisotropy effects are investigated and demonstrated to play a central role in the transverse mode dynamics. While the idler beam can oscillate in a Laguerre-Gauss mode, the crystal birefringence induces an astigmatic effect in the signal beam that pre...
متن کاملSpin and orbital angular momentum exchange in binary star systems
We present a comprehensive model for studying the angular momentum (AM) evolution in binary star systems, taking into account: (i) evolutionary effects of both component stars on the Pre-Main Sequence (PMS), on the Main Sequence (MS) and during the (initial) ascent onto the giant branch; (ii) spin-orbital AM exchange through ‘tidal’ interactions; and (iii) AM loss from one or both component sta...
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 کاملNon-collinear interaction of photons with orbital angular momentum
We study the nonlinear interaction between two non-collinear light beams that carry orbital angular momentum (OAM). More specifically, two incident beams interact at an angle in a medium with a second order nonlinearity and thus generate a third, non-collinear beam at the second harmonic frequency that experiences a reduced conversion efficiency in comparison to that expected based on conventio...
متن کاملPhoton Orbital Angular Momentum in Astrophysics
Astronomical observations of the orbital angular momentum of photons, a property of electromagnetic radiation that has come to the fore in recent years, have apparently never been attempted. Here, I show how measurements of this property of photons have a number of astrophysical applications. Subject headings: Instrumentation: Miscellaneous – Masers – ISM: General – Extraterrestrial Intelligenc...
