Atomic Spectroscopy with Twisted Photons: Separation of M1--E2 Mixed Multipoles
Andrei Afanasev, Carl E. Carlson, Maria Solyanik
We analyze atomic photoexcitation into the discrete states by twisted photons, or photons carrying extra orbital angular momentum along their direction of propagation. From the ang…
Radiative Capture of Cold Neutrons by Protons and Deuteron Photodisintegration with Twisted Beams
Andrei Afanasev, Valery G. Serbo, Maria Solyanik
We consider two basic nuclear reactions: Radiative capture of neutrons by protons, and its time-reversed counterpart, photodisintegration of the deuteron, $γ+d\to n+p…
Experimental Verification of Position-Dependent Angular-Momentum Selection Rules for Absorption of Twisted Light by a Bound Electron
Andrei Afanasev, Carl E. Carlson, Christian T. Schmiegelow +3
We analyze the multipole excitation of atoms with twisted light, i.e., by a vortex light field that carries orbital angular momentum. A single trapped Ca ion serves as a…
Circular Dichroism of Twisted Photons in the Non-Chiral Atomic Matter
Andrei Afanasev, Carl E. Carlson, Maria Solyanik
We calculate the circular dichroism (CD) for absorption of the twisted photons, or optical vortices, by atoms, caused by atomic excitation into discrete energy levels. The effects…
