Closing the debate on the transverse orbital angular momentum of spatiotemporal optical vortices

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: We present a theory of the transverse orbital angular momentum (OAM) of spatiotemporal wave packets that explains the different values of the transverse OAM of spatiotemporal optical vortices (STOVs) provided by several authors as belonging to different canonical STOVs. The theory also rules out inaccurate values contributed by other authors, closing the debate on this issue.
