Abstract

Optical angular momenta (AM) have attracted tremendous research interest in recent years. In this paper we theoretically investigate the electromagnetic field and angular momentum properties of tightly focused arbitrary cylindrical vortex vector (CVV) input beams. An absorptive particle is placed in focused CVV fields to analyze the optical torques. The spin-orbit motions of the particle can be predicted and controlled when the influences of different parameters, such as the topological charge, the polarization and the initial phases, are taken into account. These findings will be helpful in optical beam shaping, optical spin-orbit interaction and practical optical manipulation.

Fig. 9. Three components of local maximum optical torques $\mathbf {\Gamma }$ at the hot-spots in the focused fields of CVV beams with topological charges (a) m=1, (b) m=2 and (c) m=3 versus the angle $\varphi _0$ changes from 0 to 2$\pi$. Different colors refers to different components: blue-the radial torque, red-the azimuthal torque and yellow-longitudinal torque. For comparison, (d)-(f) show the variations of each maximal optical torque components at the hot-spot as the topological charge changes from 1 to 5 and $\varphi _0$ changes from 0 to 2$\pi$. Different line styles represent different topological charges.
