Abstract

We propose an efficient method to measure the total angular momentum of the down-converted beams in the case that the angular momentum is not conserved due to azimuthal asymmetry in spontaneous parametric down-conversion.

Spatial Symmetry and Conservation of Orbital Angular Momentum in Spontaneous Parametric Down-Conversion

Sheng Feng, Prem Kumar

Directly contradictory arguments coexist regarding the conservation rule of orbital angular momentum in spontaneous parametric down-conversion. We analytically show how this rule is decided by spatial symmetry. We discover that the down-converted photon pairs can carry non-negligible extrinsic orbital angular momentum in the degrees of relative-movement freedom due to spatial symmetry breaking, leading to nonconservation of total orbital angular momentum in type-II down-conversion. Also, we demonstrate that the traditional technique does not measure the extrinsic orbital angular momentum.

Transverse structures in spontaneous parametric down-conversion with orbital angular momentum

Geraldo A. Barbosa, Prem Kumar

Coincidence structures carrying orbital angular momentum in Type-II spontaneous- parametric-down-conversion are obtained theoretically. Azimuthal symmetry breaking around the pump beam direction is reflected on these structures.
