Acoustic Chirality
Alex J. Vernon, Konstantin Y. Bliokh
We reveal a previously unknown continuous symmetry and conservation law in the equations of linear isotropic elasticity, which describe the chirality of elastic waves. We show that…
Expectation Pauli-Lubanski vector and intrinsic angular momentum of relativistic wavepackets
Konstantin Y. Bliokh
In non-relativistic mechanics, the total (orbital) angular momentum (AM) of a spatially-distributed system can be decomposed into intrinsic and extrinsic contributions. In relativi…
Subluminal and superluminal velocities of free-space photons
Konstantin Y. Bliokh
We consider rectilinear free-space propagation of electromagnetic wavepackets using electromagnetic field theory, scalar wavepacket propagation, and quantum-mechanical formalism. W…
On the Ehrenfest theorem and centroids of relativistic particles
Konstantin Y. Bliokh
We consider relativistic versions of the Ehrenfest relation between the expectation values of the coordinate and momentum of a quantum particle in free space: $d\langle {\bf r} \ra…
Weak Measurements of Light Chirality with a Plasmonic Slit
Y. Gorodetski, K. Y. Bliokh, B. Stein +5
We examine, both experimentally and theoretically, an interaction of tightly focused polarized light with a slit on a metal surface supporting plasmon-polariton modes. Remarkably,…
Resonant Plasmon-Soliton Interaction
K. Y. Bliokh, Y. P. Bliokh, A. Ferrando
We describe an effective resonant interaction between two localized wave modes of different nature: a plasmon-polariton at a metal surface and a self-focusing beam (spatial soliton…
