Polarization-based control of spin-orbit vector modes of light in biphoton interference
C. C. Leary, Maggie Lankford, Deepika Sundarraman
We report the experimental generation of a class of spin-orbit vector modes of light via an asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometer, obtained from an input beam prepared in a produc…
Observation of Interaction of Spin and Intrinsic Orbital Angular Momentum of Light
Dashiell L. P. Vitullo, Cody C. Leary, Patrick Gregg +4
Interaction of spin and intrinsic orbital angular momentum of light is observed, as evidenced by length-dependent rotations of both spatial patterns and optical polarization in a c…
Unified Dynamics of Electrons and Photons via Zitterbewegung and Spin-Orbit Interaction
C. C. Leary, Karl H. Smith
We show that when an electron or photon propagates in a cylindrically symmetric waveguide, it experiences both a zitterbewegung effect and a spin-orbit interaction leading to ident…
Spin and Orbital Rotation of Electrons and Photons via Spin-Orbit Interaction
C. C. Leary, M. G. Raymer, S. J. van Enk
We show that when an electron or photon propagates in a cylindrically symmetric waveguide, its spin angular momentum (SAM) and its orbital angular momentum (OAM) interact. Remarkab…
Stable Mode Sorting by Two-Dimensional Parity of Photonic Transverse Spatial States
C. C. Leary, L. A. Baumgardner, M. G. Raymer
We describe a mode sorter for two-dimensional parity of transverse spatial states of light based on an out-of-plane Sagnac interferometer. Both Hermite-Gauss (HG) and Laguerre-Gaus…
Self-Spin-Controlled Rotation of Spatial States of a Dirac Electron in a Cylindrical Potential via Spin-Orbit Interaction
C. C. Leary, D. Reeb, M. G. Raymer
Solution of the Dirac equation predicts that when an electron with non-zero orbital angular momentum propagates in a cylindrically symmetric potential, its spin and orbital degrees…
