Spin and Orbital Angular Momenta of Electromagnetic Waves in Free Space
Masud Mansuripur
We derive exact expressions, in the form of Fourier integrals over the (k,w) domain, for the energy, momentum, and angular momentum of a light pulse propagating in free space. The…
Spin and Orbital Angular Momenta of Light Reflected from a Cone
Masud Mansuripur, Armis R. Zakharian, Ewan M. Wright
We examine several retro-reflecting optical elements, each involving two reflections. In the case of a hollow metallic cone having an apex angle of 90\degree, a circularly-polarize…
New Perspective on the Reciprocity Theorem of Classical Electrodynamics
Masud Mansuripur, Din Ping Tsai
We provide a simple physical proof of the reciprocity theorem of classical electrodynamics in the general case of material media that contain linearly polarizable as well as linear…
Deducing radiation pressure on a submerged mirror from the Doppler shift
Masud Mansuripur
Radiation pressure on a flat mirror submerged in a transparent liquid, depends not only on the refractive index n of the liquid, but also on the phase angle psi_0 of the Fresnel re…
