The optical Hall effect in tightly focused light beams

Abstract

We show that topological charge is not conserved in tightly focused beams. Conversion of spin angular momentum into orbital angular momentum occurs through a geometrical phase. We demonstrate a connection between the shape of the focal spot, and the recently discovered optical Hall effect.
