Updated: 2012-07-30 14:00:00
Author(s): Stephen M. Barnett, Robert P. Cameron, and Alison M. YaoHelicity is a familiar concept in particle physics and also appears in the physics of fluids and plasmas. In this paper, we present the optical helicity in a form readily applicable to both quantum and classical problems. We examine the relationship between the optical helicity and the more familiar...[Phys. Rev. A 86, 013845] Published Mon Jul 30, 2012
