Interaction of spin-orbit angular momentum in the tight focusing of structured light
Frontiers in Physics, 2022 As an intrinsic property of light, angular momentum has always been an important research object of light field. In the past few years, the interactions between spin angular momentum and orbital angular momentum in tightly focused structured light have ...

On the six components of optical angular momentum [PDF]
, 2011 In special relativity the angular momentum is a rank-two antisymmetric tensor with six independent components. Three of these are the familiar generators of spatial rotation, which for light have been studied at length.

Parallel axis theorem for free-space electron wavefunctions
New Journal of Physics, 2015 We consider the orbital angular momentum of a free electron vortex moving in a uniform magnetic field. We identify three contributions to this angular momentum: the canonical orbital angular momentum associated with the vortex, the angular momentum of ...

Quark Orbital Angular Momentum
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015 Definitions of orbital angular momentum based on Wigner distributions are used as a framework to discuss the connection between the Ji definition of the quark orbital angular momentum and that of Jaffe and Manohar.

Angular and Orbital Angular Momenta in the Tight Focus of a Circularly Polarized Optical Vortex
Photonics, 2023 Based on the Richards-Wolf (RW) formalism, we obtain two different exact expressions for the angular momentum (AM) density of light in the focus of an optical vortex with a topological charge n and right circular polarization.

, 2003 Spin angular momentum of photons, and the associated polarisation of light, has been known of for many years. However, it is only over the last decade or so that physically realisable laboratory light beams have been used to study the orbital angular ...
