Novel Insights into Orbital Angular Momentum Beams: From Fundamentals, Devices to Applications by Yang YueEnglish | PDF | 2019 | 166 Pages | ISBN : 3039212230 | 27.35 MB
It is well-known by now that the angular momentum carried by elementary particles can be categorized as spin angular momentum (SAM) and orbital angular momentum (OAM). In the early 1900s, Poynting recognized that a particle, such as a photon, can carry SAM, which has only two possible states, i.e., clockwise and anticlockwise circular polarization states.
