Structured transverse orbital angular momentum probed by a levitated optomechanical sensor
Abstract The momentum carried by structured light fields exhibits a rich array of surprising features. In this work, we generate transverse orbital angular momentum (TOAM) in the interference field of two parallel and counter-propagating linearly-polarised focused beams, synthesising an array of ide...
