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 …

Scientists have known for more than a century that light possesses both linear and angular
momenta along the direction of propagation. However, only recent advances in optics have …

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

Optics naturally provides us with some powerful mathematical operations. Here, we
experimentally demonstrate that during reflection or refraction at a single optical planar …

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

Interest in the multiple facets of optical vortices has flourished in the last three decades. This
review examines the basic research and applications of the interplay between optical …

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 …

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