Optical orbital angular momentum transfer to electronic currents

Light orbital angular momentum (OAM) is transformed into an electronic current loop in a copper coil, by absorption of the optical radiation. The measurement of this current, that is in the 10 ^−17 A range, makes it possible to evaluate and quantify the OAM carried by an electromagnetic wave in the...
