Orbital angular momentum of spatiotemporal vortices: a ray-mechanical analogy
Sophie Vo, Konstantin Y. Bliokh, Miguel A. Alonso
Spatiotemporal vortex pulses (STVPs) are wavepackets that carry transverse orbital angular momentum (OAM), whose proper quantification has been the subject of recent debate. In thi…
Momentum, spin, and orbital angular momentum of electromagnetic, acoustic, and water waves
Konstantin Y. Bliokh
Waves of various types carry momentum, which is associated with their propagation direction, i.e., the phase gradient. The circulation of the wave momentum density gives rise to or…
Hybrid Spin and Anomalous Spin-Momentum Locking in Surface Elastic Waves
Chenwen Yang, Danmei Zhang, Jinfeng Zhao +9
Transverse spin of surface waves is a universal phenomenon which has recently attracted significant attention in optics and acoustics. It appears in gravity water waves, surface pl…
Water-Wave Vortices and Skyrmions
Daria A. Smirnova, Franco Nori, Konstantin Y. Bliokh
Topological wave structures -- phase vortices, skyrmions, merons, etc. -- are attracting enormous attention in a variety of quantum and classical wave fields. Surprisingly, these s…
Photon centroids and their subluminal propagation
Konstantin Y. Bliokh
We examine properties and propagation of the energy-density and photon-probability centroids of electromagnetic wavepackets in free space. In the second-order paraxial approximatio…
Observation of acoustic spatiotemporal vortices
Hongliang Zhang, Yeyang Sun, Junyi Huang +4
Vortices in fluids and gases have piqued the interest of human for centuries. Development of classical-wave physics and quantum mechanics highlighted wave vortices characterized by…
