Spin-orbit interaction of light induced by transverse spin angular momentum engineering

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
Harnessing both orbital and spin angular momentum in light fields enables various applications in bio-sensing and nano-photonics. Here, the authors create engineered spin-orbit coupling between orbital angular momentum and transverse spin angular ...

Mapping the transverse spin sum rule in position space

open access: yesPhysics Letters B
We discuss in detail the relativistic spatial distribution of transverse angular momentum, including both orbital and intrinsic spin contributions. Using the quantum phase-space formalism, we begin with the definition of the three-dimensional spatial ...

Angular stripe phase in spin-orbital-angular-momentum coupled Bose condensates

open access: yes, 2020
We propose that a superfluid with supersolidlike properties, i.e., angular stripe phase, can be realized in a pancakelike spin-1/2 Bose gas with spin-orbital-angular-momentum coupling.

Digital coherent receiver for orbital angular momentum demultiplexing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We put forward a type of receiver for coherent detection of the photon orbital angular momentum (OAM). A coherent array receiver, consisting of multiple subapertures, with each subaperture coupled to a single-mode fiber, maps the complex optical field in

Parallel axis theorem for free-space electron wavefunctions

open access: yesNew 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 angular momentum in a spectator model

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2015
We investigate the quark angular momentum in a model with the nucleon being a quark and a spectator. Both scalar and axial-vector spectators are included.

Creation of orbital angular momentum states with chiral polaritonic lenses

open access: yes, 2014
This work was supported by the Australian Research Council (ARC), the State of Bavaria, and Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) through its “Funding Program for World-Leading Innovative R&D on Science and Technology (FIRST Program ...

Orbital angular momentum of a high-order Bessel light beam [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
"The orbital angular momentum density of Bessel beams is calculated explicitly within a rigorous vectorial treatment. This allows us to investigate some aspects that have not been analysed previously, such as the angular momentum content of azimuthally ...

Dimensionality-enhanced mid-infrared light vortex detection based on multilayer graphene

open access: yesLight: Science & Applications
Recent conceptual demonstrations of direct photocurrent readout of light vortices have enabled the development of light orbital angular momentum-sensitive focal plane arrays and on-chip integration of orbital angular momentum detection.

Acoustic orbital angular momentum transfer to matter by chiral scattering

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2015
We report on orbital angular momentum exchange between sound and matter mediated by a non-dissipative chiral scattering process. An experimental demonstration is made possible by irradiating a three-dimensional printed, spiral-shaped chiral object with ...
