On the origin and properties of dipolar recoil force and torque
Sebastian Golat, Nathaniel Levy, Francisco J. Rodríguez-Fortuño
The recoil optical force and torque acting on an electromagnetic dipole are typically derived by computing the imbalance in radiated linear and angular electromagnetic momentum com…

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…
