Wave Vortices Around Oscillating Subwavelength Holes: Water-Wave Observation
Junyi Ye, Zheyi Li, Alexey Y. Nikitin +4
We consider a two-dimensional wave system containing a subwavelength hole, such as an aperture in an interface supporting surface electromagnetic or acoustic waves, or an island in…
Radiation forces and torques in optics and acoustics
Ivan Toftul, Sebastian Golat, Francisco J. Rodríguez-Fortuño +3
The mechanical action of various kinds of waves has been recognized for several centuries. The first tide of scientific interest in wave-induced forces and torques emerged at the t…
Spin-Hall effect of light at a tilted polarizer
K. Y. Bliokh, C. Prajapati, C. T. Samlan +2
We describe the spin-Hall effect of light (as well as the angular Goos-Hänchen effect) at a tilted linear-dichroic plate, such as a usual linear polarizer. Although the spin-Hall e…
Acoustic Radiation Force and Torque on Small Particles as Measures of the Canonical Momentum and Spin Densities
I. D. Toftul, K. Y. Bliokh, M. I. Petrov +1
We examine acoustic radiation force and torque on a small (subwavelength) absorbing isotropic particle immersed in a monochromatic (but generally inhomogeneous) sound-wave field. W…
Angular momenta, helicity, and other properties of dielectric-fiber and metallic-wire modes
M. F. Picardi, K. Y. Bliokh, F. J. Rodríguez-Fortuño +2
Spin and orbital angular momenta (AM) of light are well studied for free-space electromagnetic fields, even nonparaxial. One of the important applications of these concepts is the…
Electric current induced unidirectional propagation of surface plasmon-polaritons
K. Y. Bliokh, F. J. Rodríguez-Fortuño, A. Y. Bekshaev +2
Nonreciprocity and one-way propagation of optical signals is crucial for modern nanophotonic technology, and is typically achieved using magneto-optical effects requiring large mag…
Relativistic Spin-Orbit Interactions of Photons and Electrons
D. A. Smirnova, V. M. Travin, K. Y. Bliokh +1
Laboratory optics, typically dealing with monochromatic light beams in a single reference frame, exhibits numerous spin-orbit interaction phenomena due to the coupling between the…
Theory and applications of free-electron vortex states
K. Y. Bliokh, I. P. Ivanov, G. Guzzinati +8
Both classical and quantum waves can form vortices: with helical phase fronts and azimuthal current densities. These features determine the intrinsic orbital angular momentum carri…
Spin-Hall effect and circular birefringence of a uniaxial crystal plate
K. Y. Bliokh, C. T. Samlan, C. Prajapati +3
The linear birefringence of uniaxial crystal plates is known since the 17th century, and it is widely used in numerous optical setups and devices. Here we demonstrate, both theoret…
Direct measurements of the extraordinary optical momentum and transverse spin-dependent force using a nano-cantilever
M. Antognozzi, C. R. Bermingham, R. L. Harniman +8
Known since Kepler's observation that a comet's tail is oriented away from the sun, radiation pressure stimulated remarkable discoveries in electromagnetism, quantum physics and re…
Photon trajectories, anomalous velocities, and weak measurements: A classical interpretation
Konstantin Y. Bliokh, Aleksandr Y. Bekshaev, Abraham G. Kofman +1
Recently, Kocsis et al. reported the observation of "average trajectories of single photons" in a two-slit interference experiment [Science 332, 1170 (2011)]. This was possible by…
Dual electromagnetism: Helicity, spin, momentum, and angular momentum
Konstantin Y. Bliokh, Aleksandr Y. Bekshaev, Franco Nori
The dual symmetry between electric and magnetic fields is an important intrinsic property of Maxwell equations in free space. This symmetry underlies the conservation of optical he…
