Observation of the Transfer of the Local Angular Momentum Density of a Multiringed Light Beam to an Optically Trapped Particle
Abstract
We observe the spinning and orbital motion of a microscopic particle trapped within a multiringed light beam that arises from the transfer of the spin and orbital components of the light's angular momentum. The two rotation rates are measured as a function of the distance between the particle and the axis of the trapping beam. The radial dependence of these observations is found to be in close agreement with the accepted theory.

The spin-to-orbital AM conversion can be interpreted as an azimuthal spin-Hall effect in cylindrically-symmetric fields; breaking this symmetry results in a pronounced spin-Hall effect in the direction orthogonal to the symmetry-breaking axis.
“The spin-to-orbital AM conversion can be interpreted as an azimuthal spin-Hall effect in cylindrically-symmetric fields 24,26,112 . Breaking this symmetry results in a pronounced spin-Hall effect in the direction orthogonal to the symmetry-breaking axis 8,28- 33 .”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
