Optical angular momentum
"Spin angular momentum of photons and the associated polarization of light has been known for many years. However, it is only over the last decade or so that physically realizable laboratory light beams have been used to study the orbital angular momentum of light. In many respe…

Orbital Angular Momentum States of Light provides an in-depth introduction to modelling of long-range propagation of orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes as well as more general structured light beams through atmospheric turbulence. Starting with angular spectrum method for diff…
The dawning of gauge theory
by O'Raifeartaigh, L., (Lochlainn)
fromPrinceton series in physics
During the course of this century, gauge invariance has slowly emerged from being an incidental symmetry of electromagnetism to being a fundamental geometrical principle underlying the four known fundamental physical interactions. The development has been in two stages. In the f…
"This is a large book with an abundance of topics. I think it well to present something of a guided tour for the prospective reader. Before that, though, allow a bit of advice from an old hand at learning mathematics and physics. The strict training of many students of mathemati…
