Light can carry both spin and orbital angular momentum. The orbital angular momentum arises from "twisted" phasefronts which can be made visible in interferograms. Still a young research area, the investigation of orbital angular momentum of light now encompasses areas as diverse as testing of quant

An artist's conception of laser tweezers Raman spectroscopy: A single laser beam is focused through a high power microscope objective to create a tight, diffraction-limited spot, which results in a single-beam optical trap powerful enough to capture and suspend cells up to 30 microns in diameter.
