Orbital angular momentum in high-intensity laser interactions

Abstract:

The orbital angular momentum (OAM) of light is one of the most intriguing properties of electromagnetic radiation. Although OAM is more commonly associated with the mechanical movement of massive particles, researchers have shown that, under certain conditions, laser beams can carry it. This is not merely a theoretical proposition, this idea was almost immediately experimentally proven by showing that OAM can be transferred between light and matter. This has, in turn, spurred an ever-incre...
