The angular momentum of light is the sum of two independent components. One is the more familiar spin angular momentum (SAM) associated with circularly polarized light. It arises from the electric and ...

In circularly polarized light, the electric field can spin ... is said to have positive or negative optical spin angular momentum. This optical spin is analogous to the spin of electrons, and ...

An ultracompact circularly ... and spin angular momentum of photoluminescence and lasing without any spin injection. This approach may improve the design of current sources of chiral light and ...

The angular momentum of light is the sum of two independent components: spin angular momentum (SAM) and orbital angular momentum (OAM). SAM is associated with circularly polarized light and arises ...
