Transfer of orbital angular momentum to an optically trapped low-index particle
We demonstrate the transfer of orbital angular momentum from a light beam to a trapped low-index particle. The particle is trapped in a dark annular region of a high-order Bessel beam and rotates around the beam axis due to scattering from the helical wave fronts of the light beam. A general theoretical geometrical optics model is developed that, applied to our specific situation, corroborates ...
متن کاملTransfer of optical orbital angular momentum to a bound electron
Photons can carry angular momentum, not only due to their spin, but also due to their spatial structure. This extra twist has been used, for example, to drive circular motion of microscopic particles in optical tweezers as well as to create vortices in quantum gases. Here we excite an atomic transition with a vortex laser beam and demonstrate the transfer of optical orbital angular momentum to ...
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 کاملAcoustic rotational manipulation using orbital angular momentum transfer.
We report on the first quantitative test of acoustic orbital angular momentum transfer to a sound absorbing object immersed in a viscous liquid. This is done by realizing an original experiment that is to spin a millimeter-size target disk using an ultrasonic vortex beam. We demonstrate the balance between the acoustic radiation torque calculated from the Brillouin stress tensor and the viscous...
متن کاملThree-dimensional optical forces and transfer of orbital angular momentum from multiringed light beams to spherical microparticles
Experimental evidence of transfer of orbital angular momentum of multiringed beams to dielectric particles has been reported recently [e.g., J. Opt. B 4, S82 (2002); Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 093602 (2003)]. Here we present a detailed theoretical examination of the forces involved in trapping and transferring orbital angular momentum to microparticles due to a multiringed light beam, particularly a ...
