Abstract

We observe the simultaneous spinning and orbital motion of a microscopic particle trapped off-axis in a high-order Bessel beam. Quantitative measurements relating the spin and orbital angular momentum content of the light beam acting on the particle are reported. Experimental results were in agreement with the theory.
