Near field of an oscillating electric dipole and cross-polarization of a collimated beam of light: two sides of the same coin
Andrea Aiello, Marco Ornigotti
We address the question of whether there exists a hidden relationship between the near-field distribution generated by an oscillating electric dipole and the so-called cross polari…
Goos-Hänchen and Imbert-Fedorov shifts from a quantum-mechanical perspective
Falk Töppel, Marco Ornigotti, Andrea Aiello
We study the classical optics effects known as Goos-Hänchen (GH) and Imbert-Fedorov (IF) shifts, occurring when reflecting a bounded light beam from a planar surface, by using a qu…
Surface angular momentum of light beams
Marco Ornigotti, Andrea Aiello
Traditionally, the angular momentum of light is calculated for "bullet-like" electromagnetic wave packets, although in actual optical experiments "pencil-like" beams of light are m…
Radially and azimuthally polarized non paraxial Bessel beams made simple
Marco Ornigotti, Andrea Aiello
We present a method for the realization of radially and azimuthally polarized nonparaxial Bessel beams in a rigorous but simple manner. This result is achieved by using the concept…
