Optical Angular Momentum in Optical Tweezers - Quantitative Measurement and Applications

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

Queensland, St. Lucia, Brisbane QLD 4072, Australia. Using optical tweezers it is possible to exert torques to twist or rotate micro-objects. It is due to a light being able to carry angular momentum and being able to transfer spin and orbital angular momentum. Article not available.
