Spin orbit interaction (SOI) due to tight focusing of light in optical tweezers has led to exciting and exotic avenues towards inducing rotation in microscopic particles. However, instances where the back action of the particles influences…
In the recent past, optical tweezers incorporating a stratified medium have been exploited to generate complex translational and rotational dynamics in mesoscopic particles due to the coupling between the spin and orbital angular momentum…
The optical Spin-Hall effect originates from the interaction between the spin angular momentum (SAM) and extrinsic orbital angular momentum (OAM) of light, leading to mutual interrelations between the polarization and trajectory of light in…
We demonstrate that tight focusing of a circularly polarized Gaussian beam in optical tweezers leads to spin-momentum locking - with the transverse spin angular momentum density being independent of helicity, while the transverse momentum…
