Fundamental and applied concepts concerning the ability of light beams to carry a certain mechanical angular momentum (AM) with respect to the propagation axis

The first comprehensive and authoritative coverage of the angular momentum of light, illustrating both its theoretical and applied aspects.

Spin angular momentum of photons and the associated polarization of light has been known for many years. However, it is only over the last decade or so that phy

This book deals with applications in several areas of science and technology that make use of light which carries orbital angular momentum. In most practical sc

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
