Novel Detection of Optical Orbital Angular Momentum

Abstract

The work reported here includes two investigations related to the study and measurement of orbital angular momentum (OAM): (I) a characterization of the variation of photonic orbital angular momentum (POAM) under Compton scattering, and (II) a design of new plasmonic metasurfaces that convert optical vortex beams into surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs).
