Angular momentum density of a circularly polarized paraxial optical vortex
We obtain general analytic expressions for the angular momentum density of a vectorial circularly polarized paraxial optical vortex. It is shown that for any vortex field with the rotational symmetry and circular polarization, an effect of the “angular tractor” takes place, which means that the flow...
