Superkicks and the photon angular and linear momentum density

نویسندگان

چکیده

We address the problem of determining physically correct definition momentum and angular densities in a spatially structured electromagnetic field, given that expressions are not same when one uses canonical energy-momentum tensor instead symmetric Belinfante electrodynamics. This has important consequences for interaction matter with light, example, twisted photons, would give drastically different results forces momenta induced on small test objects. show, numerical estimates size effects, situations where symmetrized forms induce very torques or (superkick) recoil objects atomic rotors, over broad range circumstances.

Photon orbital angular momentum: problems and perspectives

Electromagnetic fields can carry, besides energy, linear and angular momentum. The exchange of linear momentum with matter produces forces due to radiation pressure. That comet tails point away from the Sun because light carries linear momentum was first suggested by Kepler. A complete account of radiation pressure was developed by Poynting in 1905 in terms of electromagnetic linear momentum de...

Photon 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...

Undulator Photon Beams with Orbital Angular Momentum

Abstract Photons carrying an orbital angular momentum (OAM) are present in the off-axis radiation of higher harmonics of helical undulators. Usually, the purity and visibility of OAM carrying photons is blurred by the electron beam emittance. However, high brightness OAM beams are expected in Ultimate Storage Rings (USRs) and FELs, and they may trigger a new class of experiments utilizing the v...

Measuring two-photon orbital angular momentum entanglement

We put forward an approach to estimate the amount of bipartite spatial entanglement of down-converted photon states correlated in orbital angular momentum and the magnitude of the transverse radial wave vectors. Both degrees of freedom are properly considered in our framework, which only requires azimuthal local linear optical transformations and mode selection analysis with two fiber detectors...
