The spin Hall effect (SHE) of light, as an analogue of the SHE in electronic systems, is a
promising candidate for investigating the SHE in semiconductor spintronics/valleytronics …

We review basic physics and novel types of optical angular momentum. We start with a
theoretical overview of momentum and angular momentum properties of generic optical …

Recently, spatiotemporal optical vortex pulses carrying a purely transverse intrinsic orbital
angular momentum were generated experimentally [Optica 6, 1547 (2019) OPTIC8 2334 …

Both classical and quantum waves can form vortices: entities with helical phase fronts and
circulating current densities. These features determine the intrinsic orbital angular …

Light carries both spin and orbital angular momentum. These dynamical properties are
determined by the polarization and spatial degrees of freedom of light. Nano-optics …

We consider reflection and transmission of polarized paraxial light beams at a plane
dielectric interface. The field transformations taking into account a finite beam width are …

Superoscillations are band-limited functions with the counterintuitive property that they can
vary arbitrarily faster than their fastest Fourier component, over arbitrarily long intervals …

Orbital angular momentum (OAM) of light is an important feature of structured
electromagnetic fields exhibiting non-uniform spatial distribution. In contrast to a spin …

We review optical phenomena associated with the internal energy redistribution which
accompany propagation and transformations of monochromatic light fields in homogeneous …

The physics of optical vortices, also known as twisted light, is now a well-established and a
growing branch of optical physics with a number of important applications and significant …
