Fresnel reflection coefficients in the Fourier domain for a planar surface in uniform motion parallel to its interface
Stéphane Azar, Sebastian Golat, Francisco J. Rodríguez-Fortuño
The optical reflection coefficient of a dielectric medium moving uniformly in the plane spanned by its surface is rigorously calculated using classical electrodynamics and special…
Electromagnetic symmetry dislocations
Alex J. Vernon, Sebastian Golat, Francisco J. Rodríguez-Fortuño
Singular optics aims to understand and manipulate light's topological defects, pioneered by the discovery that phase vortex lines, strands of destructive interference, naturally oc…
Longitudinal chiral forces in photonic integrated waveguides to separate particles with realistically small chirality
Josep Martínez-Romeu, Iago Diez, Sebastian Golat +2
Chiral optical forces exhibit opposite signs for the two enantiomeric versions of a chiral molecule or particle. If large enough, these forces might be able to separate enantiomers…
Chiral forces in longitudinally invariant dielectric photonic waveguides
Josep Martínez-Romeu, Iago Díez, Sebastian Golat +2
Optical forces can be chiral when they exhibit opposite signs for the two enantiomeric versions of a chiral molecule or particle. Such forces could be eventually used to separate e…
A decomposition of light's spin angular momentum density
Alex J. Vernon, Sebastian Golat, Claire Rigouzzo +2
Light carries intrinsic spin angular momentum (SAM) when the electric or magnetic field vector rotates over time. A familiar vector equation calculates the direction of light's SAM…
