Quasi-intrinsic angular momentum and the measurement of its spectrum.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce the concept of quasi-intrinsic angular momentum to denote fields for which the mean value of the angular momentum is unaltered by a lateral shift of the rotation axis but the spectrum changes. This property is exemplified by the orbital angular momentum of a beam of light about its propagation direction. We propose an interferometric experiment to measure efficiently the exact angular momentum spectrum and variance for light beams with any arbitrary spatial distribution.

We solved one-dimensional hydrodynamic (HD) equations of the slim disks in the presence of the wind and in cylindrical coordinates using self-similar solution. We considered power-law function of for mass loss rate due to wind. Then, we considered mass loss, angular-momentum loss and energy loss in equations. Then, we treated the influence of wind on the dynamics of the system. As an agreement ...
متن کاملMeasurement of the orbital-angular-momentum spectrum of fields with partial angular coherence using double-angular-slit interference
We implement an interferometric method using two angular slits to measure the orbital-angular-momentum (OAM) mode spectrum of a field with partial angular coherence. As the angular separation of the slits changes, an interference pattern for a particular OAM mode is obtained. The visibility of this interference pattern as a function of angular separation is equivalent to the angular correlation...
متن کاملStudy on Generation of Higher Order Orbital Angular Momentum Modes and Parameters Affecting the Vortex
In this manuscript, higher-order Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) modes and parameters affecting vortex in the radiation pattern have been studied. A uniform circular array resonating at 10 GHz frequency is formed using eight identical rectangular patch antennas. Three uniform circular arrays are analyzed, simulated, and fabricated for OAM modes 0, +1, and -1 respectively. The higher-order OAM mo...
متن کاملDigital spiral imaging.
A major application of optics is imaging all types of structural, physical, chemical and biological features of matter. Techniques based on most known properties of light have been developed over the years to remotely acquire information about such features. They include the spin angular momentum, encoded in the polarization, but not yet the orbital angular momentum encoded in its spiral spectr...
