柱矢量光束在透射时的自旋霍尔效应

有限光束矢量特性可以由全局化的特征单位矢量和广义琼斯矢量完整地描述,特征单位矢量平行于传播轴的光束为柱矢量光束。通过这种表示理论描述了在近轴近似条件下柱矢量光束的透射情况。在透射过程中光束的特征单位矢量发生了变化,透射光束的特征单位矢量既不平行于传播轴,也不垂直于传播轴。特征单位矢量的变化导致光束产生了一个与入射面垂直的横向位移,同时这个横向位移和光束的偏振椭圆率有关,不同圆偏振态(左旋和右旋)的透射光束所产生的横向位移的方向相反。这一结果和近年来在实验中检测到的均匀偏振光束的自旋霍尔效应类似,表明柱矢量光束在透射过程后也会产生光的自旋霍尔效应。

与宏观物体类似,光子等微观粒子也可携带角动量。光子的角动量包括自旋角动量和轨道角动量,两种角动量的共同作用产生了一种新型结构光束,即矢量涡旋光束。矢量涡旋光束具有各向异性的波面和偏振分布,提供了多种光场自由度,在量子技术、光通信、激光探测、激光加工、高分辨成像、光镊等前沿领域展现了巨大的应用潜力,吸引了国内外学者的广泛关注。高效地生成矢量涡旋光束,以及高精度地识别矢量涡旋光束的模式分布,是其应用的关键。本文简要回顾了国内外学者在矢量涡旋光束的生成与模式识别方面的研究工作,同时系统梳理了本文作者过去十年在该方面的研究进展,重点介绍了其相关代表性成果。

基于Metasurface的柱矢量光束的产生

本文提出了一种基于Metasurface产生任意柱矢量光束的方法.采用的Metasurface是在熔融石英上刻蚀空间变化的非周期光栅构成.非周期光栅会形成空变的有效双折射,从而对光场的偏振态空间分布进行调制.通过琼斯矩阵的方法分析得出这样的Metasurface可以将入射线偏振光转换为柱矢量光束,并且只需要改变入射线偏振光的偏振方向即可获得高阶庞加莱球赤道上任意一点的柱矢量光束.最后,用Metasurface搭建了一套简单、高效的柱矢量光束产生系统,实验结果与理论分析一致.

Probing Dual Asymmetric Transverse Spin Angular Momentum in Tightly Focused Vector Beams in Optical Tweezers

The spin-orbit interaction (SOI) of light generated by tight focusing in optical tweezers is regularly employed in generating angular momentum - both spin and orbital - the effects being extensively observed in trapped mesoscopic particles. Specifically, the transverse spin angular momentum (TSAM), which arises due to the longitudinal component of the electromagnetic field generated by tight focusing is of special interest, both in terms of fundamental studies and associated applications. This study provides an effective and optimal strategy for generating TSAM in optical tweezers by tightly focusing first-order radially and azimuthally polarized vector beams with no intrinsic angular momentum (AM) into a refractive index stratified medium. The choice of such input fields ensures that the longitudinal spin angular momentum (LSAM) arising from the electric (magnetic) field for the radial (azimuthal) polarization is zero. As a result, the effects of the electric and magnetic TSAM are exclusively observed separately in the case of input first-order radially and azimuthally polarized vector beams on single optically trapped birefringent particles. This research opens up new and simple avenues for exotic and complex particle manipulation in optical tweezers.     

Visualizing the Fractional Orbital Angular Momentum

This paper proposes a novel approach to visualize the fractional orbital angular amentum (OAM) flow of light fields at the example of the Lommel tornado wave (LoTW) along the propagation direction in free space. The novel approach that is based on the transverse intensity distributions of the LoTWs can be used to identify and quantify the fractional OAM. The energy that is continuously distributed flexibly is controlled via the asymmetry factor and topological charge. Furthermore, the OAM density on concentric rings and chiral paths is employed to demonstrate convincingly as a manifestation of the energy flow. Such beams are anticipated to find potential applications in optical communication and optical micromanipulation.

New Convenient Way for Disentangling Exponential Operator Composed of Angular Momentum Operators

In the preceding paper (Commun. Theor. Phys. 51 (2009) 321) we have recommended a convenient method for disentangling exponential operators. In this work we use this method for disentangling exponential operators composed of angular momentum operators. We mainly disentangle the form of exp [ 2hJ_z+gJ₊+kJ_-] as the ordering exp(... J₊) exp (...J_z)exp(...J_-), we employ the Schwinger Bose realization J_-=b⁺a, J₊=a⁺b, J_z=( a⁺a-b⁺b)/2 to fulfil this task, without appealing to Lie algebra method. Note that this operator's disentangling is different from its decomposition in normal ordering.     

The Effect of the Spin Angular Momentum on the Tight-Focusing Vortex Hollow Gaussian Beams

The propagation properties of a hollow Gaussian beam (HGB) carrying on-axis and off-axis vortices through a high numerical aperture lens are investigated. The intensity of the focused beam in the focal plane can be controlled by choosing the different topological charges, the beam order, and the semi-aperture angle. As intrinsic properties, vortex beams possess both spin and orbital angular momenta. The spin angular momenta (SAM) density can be treated as a vector in 3D since it exists in arbitrary orientation during the beam propagation. The vectors of SAM density orientation of the focused beam in 3D rotate around the central axis whose locations mainly rely on the vortices. The magnitude of the SAM density near the focus plane abruptly varies by altering the focal length of the lens. Under tightly focusing condition, two new pairs of vortices generate alternately on x and y axes in the vectorial electric fields, while the topological charges increase by one.     

Field Angular Momentum

We examine the possible role played by field angular momentum in two systems of vastly different sizes: (i) the nucleon and (ii) highly magnetic white dwarf stars. For the nucleon we study the restrictions on the nucleon's structure that arise from the requirement that the total field angular (spin, orbital and field angular momentum) should satisfy the standard angular momentum commutation relationship. For the magnetic white dwarfs we argue that the magnetic field may alter the statistics of some fraction of the white dwarf's electrons from fermionic to bosonic. This would effect the stars structure, giving it a smaller than expected radius, and a lower than expected temperature. In some extreme cases one could imagine that this effect could lead to the collapse of the white dwarf into a neutron star despite being below the Chandreshekar limit.
