Orbital angular momentum of partially coherent beams.
The definition of the orbital angular momentum established for coherent beams is extended to partially coherent beams, expressed in terms of two elements of the beam matrix. This extension is justified by use of the Mercer expansion of partially coherent fields. General Gauss-Schell-model fields are considered, and the relation between the twist parameter and the orbital angular momentum is ana...
متن کاملUndulator 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...
متن کاملOptical communications using orbital angular momentum beams
Orbital angular momentum (OAM), which describes the “phase twist” (helical phase pattern) of light beams, has recently gained interest due to its potential applications in many diverse areas. Particularly promising is the use of OAM for optical communications since: (i) coaxially propagating OAM beams with different azimuthal OAM states are mutually orthogonal, (ii) inter-beam crosstalk can be ...
متن کاملOrbital angular momentum and nonparaxial light beams
The simple relationship between total angular momentum and energy and the seemingly natural separation of the angular momentum into spin and orbital components in the paraxial approximation, are investigated for a general nonparaxial form of monochromatic beam with near cylindrical symmetry.
متن کاملPoincaré-sphere equivalent for light beams containing orbital angular momentum.
The polarization state of a light beam is related to its spin angular momentum and can be represented on the Poincaré sphere. We propose a sphere for light beams in analogous orbital angular momentum states. Using the Poincaré-sphere equivalent, we interpret the rotational frequency shift for light beams with orbital angular momentum [Phys. Rev. Lett. 80, 3217 (1998)] as a dynamically evolving ...
