Measures of Helicity and Chirality of Optical Vortex Beams
Kayn A. Forbes, Garth A. Jones
Analytical forms of the optical helicity and optical chirality of monochromatic Laguerre-Gaussian optical vortex beams are derived up to second order in the paraxial parameter $kw_…
Optical vortex dichroism in chiral particles
Kayn A. Forbes, Garth A. Jones
Circular dichroism is the differential rate of absorption of right- and left-handed circularly polarized light by chiral particles. Optical vortices which convey orbital angular mo…
On the transfer of optical orbital angular momentum to matter
Kayn A. Forbes
The prevailing notion is that the orbital angular momentum (OAM) of an optical vortex can only be transferred to the internal degrees of freedom (i.e. electronic motion) of materia…
Relevance of Longitudinal Fields of Paraxial Optical Vortices
Kayn A. Forbes, Dale Green, Garth A. Jones
Longitudinal electromagnetic fields generally become comparable with the usually dominant transverse components in strongly-focussed, non-paraxial beams. For optical vortex modes i…
Spin-orbit interactions and chiroptical effects engaging orbital angular momentum of twisted light in chiral and achiral media
Kayn A. Forbes, David L. Andrews
There is recurrent interest in the orbital angular momentum (OAM) conveyed by optical vortices, which are structured beams with a helically twisted wavefront. Particular significan…
