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…
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…
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…
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…
