Quantum Formulation of Fractional Orbital Angular Momentum
The quantum theory of rotation angles (S. M. Barnett and D. T. Pegg, Phys. Rev. A, 41, 3427-3425 (1990)) is generalised to noninteger values of the orbital angular momentum. This requires the introduction of an additional parameter, the orientation of a phase discontinuity associated with fractional values of the orbital angular momentum. We apply our formalism to the propagation of light modes...
متن کاملOptical orbital angular momentum.
We present a brief introduction to the orbital angular momentum of light, the subject of our theme issue and, in particular, to the developments in the 13 years following the founding paper by Allen et al. (Allen et al. 1992 Phys. Rev. A 45, 8185 (doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.45.8185)). The papers by our invited authors serve to bring the field up to date and suggest where developments may take us next...
متن کاملEfficient sorting of orbital angular momentum states of light.
We present a method to efficiently sort orbital angular momentum (OAM) states of light using two static optical elements. The optical elements perform a Cartesian to log-polar coordinate transformation, converting the helically phased light beam corresponding to OAM states into a beam with a transverse phase gradient. A subsequent lens then focuses each input OAM state to a different lateral po...
متن کاملOrbital angular momentum spectrum of entangled two-photon states
We implement an interferometric method to measure the orbital angular momentum (OAM) spectrum of photon pairs generated by spontaneous parametric down-conversion. In contrast to previous experiments, which were all limited by the modal capacity of the detection system, our method operates on the entire down-conversion cone and reveals the complete distribution of the generated OAM. In this geom...
متن کاملObservation of entanglement witnesses for orbital angular momentum states
Entanglement witnesses provide an efficient means of determining the level of entanglement of a system using the minimum number of measurements. Here we demonstrate the observation of twodimensional entanglement witnesses in the high-dimensional basis of orbital angular momentum (OAM). In this case, the number of potentially entangled subspaces scales as d(d− 1)/2, where d is the dimension of t...
