Polarization Transfer from the Twisted Light to an Atom
Andrei Afanasev, Carl E. Carlson, Hao Wang
When polarized light is absorbed by an atom, the excited atomic system carries information about the initial polarization of light. For the light that carries an orbital angular mo…

Excitation of E1-forbidden Atomic Transitions with Electric, Magnetic or Mixed Multipolarity in Light Fields Carrying Orbital and Spin Angular Momentum
Maria Solyanik-Gorgone, Andrei Afanasev, Carl E. Carlson +2
Photons carrying a well-defined orbital angular momentum have been proven to modify spectroscopic selection rules in atomic matter. Excitation profiles of electric quadrupole trans…
