Large-uncertainty intelligent states for angular momentum and angle [PDF]
The equality in the uncertainty principle for linear momentum and position is obtained for states which also minimize the uncertainty product. However, in the uncertainty relation for angular momentum and angular position both sides of the inequality are

Rotation of electromagnetic fields and the nature of optical angular momentum [PDF]
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.

Orbital angular momentum: origins, behavior and applications [PDF]
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 ...

Stratosphere-troposphere exchange: An angular momentum perspective [PDF]
The exchange of axial angular momentum (AM) between stratosphere and troposphere forms an important part of stratosphere–troposphere exchange (STE). Data are used to quantify the related fluxes through an idealized tropopause for specific flux events ...

Determining the dimensionality of bipartite orbital-angular-momentum entanglement using multi-sector phase masks [PDF]
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].

Angular sensitivity of blowfly photoreceptors: intracellular measurements and wave-optical predictions [PDF]
The angular sensitivity of blowfly photoreceptors was measured in detail at wavelengths λ = 355, 494 and 588 nm. The measured curves often showed numerous sidebands, indicating the importance of diffraction by the facet lens.

Waveguide theory applied to optically measured angular sensitivities of fly photoreceptors [PDF]
Farfield radiation patterns of single ommatidia of the fly, Calliphora erythrocephala, have been photographed. Clear radiation patterns of the first and the second waveguide mode have been observed. According to theory, the shape of the (optical) angular

On the six components of optical angular momentum [PDF]
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.
