An ongoing debate surrounding the intrinsic transverse orbital angular momentum (OAM) attributed to spatiotemporal optical vortex (STOV) light pulses has raised the energy and photon-density centroids as two alternative frameworks to define…
Spatiotemporal vortex pulses (STVPs) are wavepackets that carry transverse orbital angular momentum (OAM), whose proper quantification has been the subject of recent debate. In this work, we introduce a simplified mechanical model of STVPs,…
The nature of the transverse orbital angular momentum (tOAM) associated with spatiotemporal optical vortex (STOV) pulses has been the subject of recent debate. We demonstrate that the approaches to tOAM presented in several recent papers…
Spatiotemporal optical vortices (STOVs) are electromagnetic wave packets that transport a phase line singularity perpendicular to their propagation direction. We address the problem of the transverse orbital angular momentum (OAM) ``per…
We demonstrate the controlled spatiotemporal transfer of transverse orbital angular momentum (OAM) to electromagnetic waves: the spatiotemporal torquing of light. This is a radically different situation than OAM transfer to longitudinal,…
The transverse orbital angular momentum (OAM) of spatiotemporal optical vortices (STOVs) has been a topic of active debate in recent years. Previous studies, relying on narrowband and paraxial approximations, resulted in unprecedented…
We report a mathematical error and a misinterpretation in arXiv:2103.03263v4 [Phys. Rev. Lett. 127, 193901 (2021)] that has led to a debate about the nature of the transverse orbital angular momentum (OAM) of spatiotemporal optical vortices…
The orbital angular momentum (OAM) of light and optical vortices are closely related concepts that are often conflated. The conserved OAM arises fundamentally from the SO(3) rotational symmetry of spacetime, while the concept of vortices…
Recently, spatiotemporal optical vortex pulses carrying a purely transverse intrinsic orbital angular momentum were generated experimentally [{\it Optica} {\bf 6}, 1547 (2019); {\it Nat. Photon.} {\bf 14}, 350 (2020)]. However, an accurate…
Vortices are whirling disturbances commonly found in nature ranging from tremendously small scales in Bose-Einstein condensates to cosmologically colossal scales in spiral galaxies. An optical vortex, generally associated with a spiral…
A focusing system such as a single lens or a spherical mirror imparts intrinsic transverse orbital angular momentum (OAM) to spatiotemporal (ST) coupled fields the ST intensity distribution of which presents ST covariance. This fact may…
Advances in the generation and the application of spatiotemporal optical vortices (STOV) are proceeding fast, but fundamental aspects of their nature remain obscure. Phys. Rev. A 107, L031501 (2023) (PRA) and Prog. Electromagn. Res. 177, 95…
Spatiotemporal Optical Vortices (STOVs) are structured electromagnetic fields propagating in free space with phase singularities in the space-time domain. Depending on the tilt of the helical phase front, STOVs can carry both longitudinal…
Spatiotemporal optical vortices (STOVs) are a new type of intrinsic optical orbital angular momentum (OAM) structure in which the OAM vector is orthogonal to the propagation direction [Optica 6, 1547, (2019)] and the optical phase…
We confirm the existence of a new bulk medium quasiparticle with transverse orbital angular momentum (tOAM) and elucidate its physical origin. The tOAM structure is driven by torques induced by the ponderomotive force of the light in the…
We present a space-time generalization of the known spatial (monochromatic) wave vortex beams carrying intrinsic orbital angular momentum (OAM) along the propagation direction. Generic spatio-temporal vortex beams are polychromatic and can…
We identify a class of modal solutions for spatio-temporal optical vortex (STOV) electromagnetic pulses propagating in dispersive media with orbital angular momentum (OAM) orthogonal to propagation. We find that symmetric STOVs in vacuum…
Recently, photons have been observed to possess transverse orbital angular momentum (OAM); however, it is unclear as whether they can hold a transverse OAM higher than 1. Here, we theoretically and experimentally demonstrate that high-order…
Orbital angular momentum (OAM) of photons, as a new fundamental degree of freedom, has excited a great diversity of interest, because of a variety of emerging applications. Arbitrarily tunable OAM has gained much attention, but its creation…
We measure the change in transverse orbital angular momentum (tOAM) per photon, delta L_y, applied to an optical pulse by a pure amplitude perturbation. The results are in excellent agreement with calculations and simulations of the…
