Orbital Angular Momentum of Light
Orbital angular momentum (OAM) of light refers to the angular momentum component dependent on the spatial distribution of the optical field, distinct from polarization, and includes internal and external types. It has applications in telecommunications, quantum information, and radio astronomy, with ongoing research on its generation, measurement, and theoretical definitions.
