Orbital angular momentum: origins, behavior and applications [PDF]
, 2011 As they travel through space, some light beams rotate. Such light beams have angular momentum. There are two particularly important ways in which a light beam can rotate: if every polarization vector rotates, the light has spin; if the phase structure ...

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 ...

Dynamical processes of vortex electrons in intense laser field
上海师范大学学报. 自然科学版, 2023 In this paper, the dynamic processes of strong vortex electrons with inherent orbital angular momentum in intense laser are studied. The evolution of the intrinsic orbital and spin angular momentum of a vortex electron in a chirped laser field is studied

Determining the dimensionality of bipartite orbital-angular-momentum entanglement using multi-sector phase masks [PDF]
, 2012 The Shannon dimensionality of orbital-angular-momentum (OAM) entanglement produced in spontaneous parametric down-conversion can be probed by using multi-sector phase analysers [1].

Spin-constrained orbital-angular-momentum control in high-harmonic generation
Physical Review Research, 2019 The interplay between spin and orbital angular momentum in the up-conversion process allows us to control the macroscopic wave front of high harmonics by manipulating the microscopic polarizations of the driving field.

Super-resolution orbital angular momentum holography
Nature Communications, 2023 The resolution of orbital angular momentum holography is limited by a fundamental sampling criterion. Here, the authors break the resolution barrier by temporal multiplexing of binary holograms and enhance the resolution and capacity by several times.

Nested SU(2) symmetry of photonic orbital angular momentum
Frontiers in Physics, 2023 The polarization state is described by a quantum mechanical two-level system, which is known as special unitary group of degree 2 [SU(2)]. Polarization is attributed to an internal spin degree of freedom inherent to photons, while photons also possess an

Rotation of electromagnetic fields and the nature of optical angular momentum [PDF]
, 2010 The association of spin and orbital angular momenta of light with its polarization and helical phase fronts is now well established. The problems in linking this with electromagnetic theory, as expressed in Maxwell's equations, are rather less well known.
