Spin angular momentum of Gaussian beams with several polarization singularities

open access: yesКомпьютерная оптика, 2023
We study a paraxial vector Gaussian beam with several polarization singularities located on a circle. Such a beam is superposition of a cylindrically polarized Laguerre-Gaussian beam and a linearly polarized Gaussian beam.

Spin and orbital angular momentum of coherent photons in a waveguide

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2023
Spin angular momentum of a photon corresponds to a polarisation degree of freedom of lights, and such that various polarisation properties are coming from macroscopic manifestation of quantum-mechanical properties of lights.

Conversion of a beam carrying fractionnal angular momentum in High-Harmonics Generation [PDF]

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2023
Exotic light fields combining non-trivial spin and angular momentum may not be eigenstates of either the spin or orbital angular momenta operators. For these fields, it is relevant to define a Generalized Angular Momentum operator of which they are ...

Pseudogauge freedom and the SO(3) algebra of spin operators

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2023
The energy-momentum and spin tensors for a given theory can be replaced by alternative expressions that obey the same conservation laws for the energy, linear momentum, as well as angular momentum but, however, differ by the local redistribution of such ...

Quantum field theory for spin operator of the photon

open access: yesPhysical Review Research, 2022
All elementary particles in nature can be classified as fermions with half-integer spin and bosons with integer spin. Within quantum electrodynamics (QED), even though the spin of the Dirac particle is well defined, there exist open questions on the ...

Spin Hall Effect of Double-Index Cylindrical Vector Beams in a Tight Focus

open access: yesMicromachines, 2023
We investigate the spin angular momentum (SAM) of double-index cylindrical vector beams in tight focus. Such a set of beams is a generalization of the conventional cylindrical vector beams since the polarization order is different for the different ...

Compton effect in terms of spintronic

open access: yesResults in Physics, 2016
Compton effect with spin effect is studied. Although the incoming wave has been taken into account in the current loop model the final result is the same as before.

A proposed measurement of optical orbital and spin angular momentum and its implications for photon angular momentum

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2018
The expression for the total angular momentum carried by a laser optical vortex beam, splits, in the paraxial approximation, into two terms which seem to represent orbital and spin angular momentum respectively.

Effect of Twisting Phases on Linear–Circular Polarization and Spin–Orbital Angular Momentum Conversions in Tightly Focused Vector and Scalar Beams

open access: yesPhotonics, 2023
We theoretically investigated the effect of a new type of twisting phase on the polarization dynamics and spin–orbital angular momentum conversion of tightly focused scalar and vector beams.

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 ...
