Title: Twisted Photons Condition: New Subtitle: Applications of Light with Orbital Angular Momentum Author: Juan P. Torres Contributor: Juan P. Torres (Edited by), Lluis Torner (Edited by) Format: Hardback EAN: 9783527409075 ISBN: 9783527409075 Publisher: Blackwell Verlag GmbH Genre: Science Nature & Math Release Date: 02/09/2011 Description: 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 scenarios, the angular momentum can be decomposed into two independent contributions: the spin angular momentum and the orbital angular momentum. The orbital contribution affords a fundamentally new degree of freedom, with fascinating and wide-spread applications. Unlike spin angular momentum, which is associated with the polarization of light, the orbital angular momentum arises as a consequence of the spatial distribution of the intensity and phase of an optical field, even down to the single photon limit. Researchers have begun to appreciate its implications for our understanding of the ways in which light and matter can interact, and its practical potential in different areas of science and technology.
