Optical Angular Momentum - Allen, L. (University of Glasgow, Scotland, UK) a Barnett, Stephen M. (University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland, UK) a Padgett, Miles J. (University of Glasgow, Scotland, UK)

In many respects, orbital and spin angular momentum behave similarly, but the orbital variety offers exciting possibilities with respect to the optical manipulation of matter and in the study of the photon entanglement. This title offers a comprehensive overview and a statement of the status of various aspects of optical angular momentum.
