Abstract

We experimentally demonstrated the coherent trapping of light with orbital angular momentum as a stationary light pulse in a cold 87 Rb atomic medium by measuring a fork pattern interference.

We report on the generation of light carrying orbital angular momentum through Bragg diffraction into an electromagnetically induced coherence grating in a degenerate two-level system of cold cesium atoms, demonstrating the c onservation the c onservation of orbital angular momentum of light in a coherent four-wave mixing process. The induced Zeeman coherence grating is shown to contain the spatial phase structure of the incident beams. The e xchange of phase information between a light beam with orbital angular momentum and a long-lived atomic coherence opens up the way to process quantum process information encoded in a multidimensional state space.

A scheme to transfer the orbital angular momentum between two light beams with efficiency up to unity is theoretically demonstrated. The method uses a double-$\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}$ atomic system, a pair of spatially dependent control beams, and the two targeted probe beams that carry optical vorticity.

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.
