Do waves carrying orbital angular momentum possess azimuthal linear momentum?
All beams are a superposition of plane waves, which carry linear momentum in the direction of propagation with no net azimuthal component. However, plane waves incident on a hologram can produce a vortex beam carrying orbital angular momentum that seems to require an azimuthal linear momentum, which presents a paradox. We resolve this by showing that the azimuthal momentum is not a true linear ...
متن کاملSuppression of collapse for matter waves with orbital angular momentum
We explore the influence of the orbital angular momentum on the collapse of vortex-free elliptic clouds of Bose–Einstein condensates with a negative scattering length trapped in a radially symmetric harmonic potential. We show that the number of trapped ultracold atoms corresponding to the collapse threshold can be radically increased for such rotating nonlinear matter waves. Below the threshol...
متن کاملQuantum Formulation of Fractional Orbital Angular Momentum
The quantum theory of rotation angles (S. M. Barnett and D. T. Pegg, Phys. Rev. A, 41, 3427-3425 (1990)) is generalised to noninteger values of the orbital angular momentum. This requires the introduction of an additional parameter, the orientation of a phase discontinuity associated with fractional values of the orbital angular momentum. We apply our formalism to the propagation of light modes...
متن کاملGeneration of Electromagnetic Waves with Arbitrary Orbital Angular Momentum Modes
Recently, much attention has been focused on beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) for radio communication. Here we experimentally demonstrate a planar-spiral phase plate (planar-SPP) for generating arbitrary mixed OAM beams. This proposed planar-SPP uses the concept of transmit array antenna having a perforated substrate to control the outputting phase for generating beams carrying OAM...
متن کاملQuantum field theory of photons with orbital angular momentum
A quantum-field-theory approach is put forward to generalize the concept of classical spatial light beams carrying orbital angular momentum to the single-photon level. This quantization framework is carried out both in the paraxial and nonparaxial regimes. Upon extension to the optical phase space, closed-form expressions are found for a photon Wigner representation describing transformations o...
