In the early 1900s, Poynting recognized that a particle, such as a photon, can carry SAM, which has only two possible states, i.e., clockwise and anticlockwise circular polarization states. However, only fairly recently, in 1992, Allen et al. discovered that photons with helical phase fronts can carry OAM, which has infinite orthogonal states. In the past two decades, the OAM-carrying beam, due to its unique features, has gained increasing interest from many different research communities, including physics, chemistry, and engineering. Its twisted phase front and intensity distribution have enabled a variety of applications, such as micromanipulation, laser beam machining, nonlinear matter interactions, imaging, sensing, quantum cryptography and classical communications. This book aims to explore novel insights of OAM beams. It focuses on state-of-the-art advances in fundamental theories, devices and applications, as well as future perspectives of OAM beams.radio frequencymulti-input multi-outputphotonic lanternuniform circular arrayturbulence mitigationstate of polarizationlong period fiber gratingMIMOfrequency-domainreceiver28 GHzmetasurfaceslight-matter interactionsdielectric lensfree-space optical communicationshelicityorbital angular momentum multiplexingOAMorbital angular momentumsubwavelength digital gratingsnanofabricationtime-gated frequency-shift interpolationsilicon metasurfacesphase modereactive ion etchingdual symmetrybi-isotropic mediamode selective couplertwisted wavesphotonics lanternpseudo-DopplerchiralityOAM-MIMOPoincaré sphereelectron beam lithographyPancharatnam-Berry optical elementspolarization division multiplexingmode division multiplexingnonlinear opticsinterpolationmicrostructure optical fibertunable OAMstructured lightPan Zhongqi1787322Yue YangHuang HaoRen YongxiongScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910367563503321Novel insights into orbital Angular Momentum Beams4320545UNINA
