We show that when an electron or photon propagates in a cylindrically symmetric waveguide, its spin angular momentum (SAM) and its orbital angular momentum (OAM) interact. Remarkably, we find that the dynamics resulting from this spin-orbit…
We show that optical beams propagating in transversally disordered materials exhibit a spin Hall effect and a spin-to-orbital conversion of angular momentum as they deviate from paraxiality. We theoretically describe these phenomena on the…
When light is passing through a rotating medium the optical polarisation is rotated. Recently it has been reasoned that this rotation applies also to the transmitted image (Padgett et al. 2006). We examine these two phenomena by extending…
