Spatiotemporal Torquing of Light

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 from OAM transfer to longitudinal, spatially defined OAM light by stationary or slowly varying re...
