The role of the angular momentum of light in Mie scattering. Excitation of dielectric spheres with Laguerre-Gaussian modes
Xavier Zambrana-Puyalto, Gabriel Molina-Terriza
We present a method to enhance the ripple structure of the scattered electromagnetic field in the visible range through the use of Laguerre-Gaussian beams. The position of these en…
Excitation of single multipolar modes with engineered cylindrically symmetric fields
Xavier Zambrana-Puyalto, Xavier Vidal, Gabriel Molina-Terriza
We present a new method to address multipolar resonances and to control the scattered field of a spherical scatterer. This method is based on the engineering of the multipolar cont…
The role of angular momentum in the construction of electromagnetic multipolar fields
Nora Tischler, Xavier Zambrana-Puyalto, Gabriel Molina-Terriza
Multipolar solutions of Maxwell's equations are used in many practical applications and are essential for the understanding of light-matter interactions at the fundamental level. U…
Helicity and Angular Momentum. A Symmetry based framework for the study of Light-Matter Interactions
Ivan Fernandez-Corbaton, Xavier Zambrana-Puyalto, Gabriel Molina-Terriza
We propose a new theoretical and practical framework for the study of light-matter interactions and the angular momentum of light. Our proposal is based on helicity, total angular…
Electromagnetic duality symmetry and helicity conservation for the macroscopic Maxwell's equations (previously "Experimental demonstration of electromagnetic duality symmetry breaking")
Ivan Fernandez-Corbaton, Xavier Zambrana-Puyalto, Nora Tischler +4
Modern physics is largely devoted to study conservation laws, such as charge, energy, linear momentum or angular momentum, because they give us information about the symmetries of…
