Spin and orbital angular momentum of coherent photons in a waveguide

Spin angular momentum of a photon corresponds to a polarisation degree of freedom of lights, and such that various polarisation properties are coming from macroscopic manifestation of quantum-mechanical properties of lights. An orbital degree of freedom of lights is also manipulated to form a vortex...
