The existence of twisted light may be inferred from modern quantum concepts and experimental data. These waves possess energy, impulse and angular momentum. However, the Maxwell’s four-dimensional theory of electromagnetism does not imply the existence of waves with these properties. This article develops a model generalizing the theory of electromagnetism in such a way that it would be possible to obtain equations of twisted electromagnetic waves. Generalization is implemented by introduction…

Quantum description of twisted electromagnetic wave propagation

On the invariance in the inhomogeneous Lorentz group SO(1,3) in the context of optical vortex description

Recent studies of optical vortexes have elicited the need for a new kind of transformations, comprising a variety of Lorentz transformations that would embody not only translational but rotational…

The gravitational redshift of a optical vortex being different from that of an gravitational redshift plane of an electromagnetic wave

A hypothesis put forward in late 20th century and subsequently substantiated experimentally posited the existence of optical vortices (twisted light). An optical vortex is an electromagnetic wave…

Laser-induced rotation and cooling of a trapped microgyroscope in vacuum

This work demonstrates simultaneous optical trapping and rotation of a birefringent microparticle in vacuum using a circularly polarized trapping laser beam—a microgyroscope and attributes this cooling to the interaction between the gyroscopic directional stabilization and the optical trapping field.

Gravitational interaction in seven-dimensional space-time

For an unambiguous description of the position of a body in space, it is necessary to specify its three spatial coordinates, the time instant, and three coordinates which fix the body orientation in…

Direct observation of transfer of angular momentum to absorptive particles from a laser beam with a phase singularity.

Black or reflective particles can be trapped in the dark central minimum of a doughnut laser beam produced using a high efficiency computer generated hologram to carry angular momentum transferred from the central phase singularity beam.
