Spin angular momentum of photons and the associated polarization of
light has been known for many years. However, it is only over the
last decade or so that physically realizable laboratory light beams
have been used to study the orbital angular momentum of light. In
many respects, orbital and spin angular momentum behave in a
similar manner, but they differ significantly in others. In
particular, orbital angular momentum offers exciting new
possibilities with respect to the optical manipulation of matter
and to the study of the entanglement of photons.
Bringing together 44 landmark papers, Optical Angular Momentum
offers the first comprehensive overview of the subject as it has
developed. It chronicles the first decade of this important subject
and gives a definitive statement of the current status of all
aspects of optical angular momentum. In each chapter the editors
include a concise introduction, putting the selected papers into
context and outlining the key articles associated with this aspect
of the subject.
