Chirality and helicity of optical vortices of small beam waists
Koray Koksal, Mohamed Babiker, Vassilis E. Lembessis +1
The chirality and helicity of linearly polarised Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) beams are examined. Such a type of light possesses a substantial longitudinal field when its beam waist is s…

Quadrupole absorption rate and orbital angular momentum transfer for atoms in optical vortices
Smail Bougouffa, Mohamed Babiker
Recent experiments involving the interaction of optical vortices with atoms in quadrupole transitions have been shown to be accompanied by the exchange of orbital angular momentum…

Atom trapping and dynamics in the interaction of optical vortices with quadrupole-active transitions
Smail Bougouffa, Mohamed Babiker
Recent studies have confirmed the coupling of optical vortices, such as Laguerre-Gaussian and Bessel-Gaussian modes, to quadrupole-active atomic transitions. This interaction has b…
