Necessary symmetry conditions for the rotation of light
Ivan Fernandez-Corbaton, Xavier Vidal, Nora Tischler +1
Two conditions on symmetries are identified as necessary for a linear scattering system to be able to rotate the linear polarisation of light: Lack of at least one mirror plane of…
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…
