Journal ArticleDOI
Extraordinary momentum and spin in evanescent waves
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the transverse momentum and spin push and twist a probe Mie particle in an evanescent field allows the observation of 'impossible' properties of light and of a fundamental field-theory quantity, which was previously considered as 'virtual'.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dual electromagnetism: Helicity, spin, momentum, and angular momentum
TL;DR: The dual symmetry between electric and magnetic fields is an important intrinsic property of Maxwell equations in free space as mentioned in this paper, which underlies the conservation of optical helicity and is closely related to the separation of spin and orbital degrees of freedom of light.
Journal ArticleDOI
Internal flows and energy circulation in light beams
TL;DR: In this article, a general description of the internal flows in the coordinate and momentum (angular spectrum) representations for both non-paraxial and paraxial fields is given, which enables one to determine local densities and integral values of the spin and orbital angular momenta of the field.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optical Momentum, Spin, and Angular Momentum in Dispersive Media
Konstantin Y. Bliokh,Konstantin Y. Bliokh,Aleksandr Bekshaev,Aleksandr Bekshaev,Franco Nori,Franco Nori +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the kinetic Abraham momentum describes the energy flux and group velocity of the wave in the medium and novel canonical Minkowski-type momentum, spin, and orbital angular momentum densities of the field are introduced.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, a femtonewton-resolution nano-cantilever immersed in an evanescent optical field above the total internal reflecting glass surface was used to measure the optical momentum and force.
