Comment on X.-L. Wang et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 105, 253602 (2010).
We comment on mistakes and inaccuracies of a paper by Chen et al. concerning the optical torque from generic optical fields on dipolar chiral particles, i.e. on those whose scattering is fully described by the first electric, magnetic and…
We establish universal relationships between optical force/torque on a general particle and different parts of linear and angular momentum (AM) of generic monochromatic optical field. It is rigorously proved that the optical force comes…
The recent paper Phys. Rev. X. 14, 011031 (https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2307.01019) includes an appendix that casts doubts on the validity the theory of the transverse orbital angular momentum of spatiotemporal optical vortices (STOVs) in…
We dispose of some objections raised by Manko et al. (gr-qc/0604091) on a recently published paper on the role of Poynting vector in the ocurrence of vorticity in electrovaccum spacetimes (2006, Class. Quantum Grav. 23, 2395)
Does the cross-product of the position and the electromagnetic momentum density, g, include the optical spin momentum? We answer this long-standing question in the affirmative by evaluating, explicitly, the torque exerted on a particle by a…
The expression for the total angular momentum carried by a laser optical vortex beam, splits, in the paraxial approximation, into two terms which seem to represent orbital and spin angular momentum respectively. There are, however, two very…
This is a comment on Chen et al Letter PRL,100, 232002 (2008).
We investigate the decomposition of the electromagnetic Poynting momentum density in three-dimensional random monochromatic fields into orbital and spin parts, using analytical and numerical methods. In sharp contrast with the paraxial…
We review basic physics and novel types of optical angular momentum. We start with a theoretical overview of momentum and angular momentum properties of generic optical fields, and discuss methods for their experimental measurements. In…
Optical intrinsic angular momentum can be regarded as derivation from spatial superposition of optical vector fields embodied by spinning or and spiraling the electric field vector. We employ vectorial formulation derivation to…
In the present note I am presenting my point of view about the idea proposed in the above said paper.
The quantum theory of rotation angles (S. M. Barnett and D. T. Pegg, Phys. Rev. A, 41, 3427-3425 (1990)) is generalised to non-integer values of the orbital angular momentum. This requires the introduction of an additional parameter, the…
We reply to comment on recent paper by Pieplow and Henkel (New J. Phys. 15 (2013) 023027) and our results made by Volokitin and Persson (arXiv: 1405.2525)
Fundamental and applied concepts concerning the ability of light beams to carry a certain mechanical angular momentum with respect to the propagation axis are reviewed and discussed. Following issues are included: Historical reference;…
We analyze a recent pedagogical proposal for an alternative treatment of the angular part of the Schr\"odinger equation with a central potential. We show that the authors' arguments are unclear, unconvincing and misleading.

We reply to the Comment of X. Ji [arXiv:0810.4913] on our paper [PRL 100:232002 (2008)], concerning angular momentum algebra, locality, Lorentz covariance, and measurability of our gauge-invariant description of the spin and orbital angular…
This is the supplementary information to arXiv:1303.4545v1 [physics.optics] 19 Mar 2013 in which we address the forces exerted by the electromagnetic field emitted by a planar uctuating source on dielectric particles that have arose much…
Recent studies show that the angular momentum, both spin and orbital, of rotating light beams possesses counter-intuitive characteristics. We present a new approach to the question of orbital angular momentum of light based on the complex…
