The Photon Hall Pinwheel, Radiation of Angular Momentum by a Diffusing Magneto-optical Medium
Bart A. van Tiggelen, Geert L. J. A. Rikken
We consider an optically thick spherical agglomerate of magneto-optical scatterers with a central isotropic, unpolarized light source, placed in a homogeneous magnetic field. The P…
Negative experimental evidence for magneto-orbital dichroism - supplemental information
Renaud Mathevet, Bruno Viaris de Lesegno, Laurence Pruvost +1
A light beam can carry both spin angular momentum (SAM) and orbital angular momentum (OAM). SAM is commonly evidenced by circular dichroism (CD) experiments {\em i. e.} differentia…
Observation of the intrinsic Abraham force in time-varying magnetic and electric fields
Geert L. J. A. Rikken, Bart Van Tiggelen
The Abraham force exerted by a time-dependent electromagnetic field on neutral, polarizable matter has two contributions. The one induced by a time-varying magnetic field and a sta…
Transverse Momentum Transfer in Atom-Light Scattering
Bart Van Tiggelen, Geert L. J. A. Rikken, Andreas Nussle
We predict a photon Hall effect in the optical cross-section of atomic hydrogen, which is caused by the interference between an electric quadrupole transition and an electric dipol…
Magneto-electric momentum transfer to atoms and molecules
G. L. J. A. Rikken, Bart Van Tiggelen
We report the first observation of mechanical momentum transferred to atoms and molecules upon application of crossed electric and magnetic fields. We identify this momentum as the…
Observation of the Inverse Cotton-Mouton Effect
Andrei Ben-Amar Baranga, Remy Battesti, Mathilde Fouché +2
We report the observation of the Inverse Cotton-Mouton Effect (ICME) i.e. a magnetization induced in a medium by non resonant linearly polarized light propagating in the presence o…
