Abstract

Based on our previous research on optical needles with arbitrary three-dimensional (3D) polarization, we investigate the relationship between the electric field and spin angular momentum (SAM). We have realized optical needles with arbitrary 3D spin-orientation and SAM per photon. To our best knowledge, it is the first time to obtain optical needles whose SAM can be customized on both direction and size. The relative error between the obtained spin and customized spin is always less than 5% even if SAM per photon is very small.
