Experimental Detection Of Forces In An Optical Analog Of Aharonov-Bohm Effect

Keywords

Adaptive optics; Force; Magnetic flux; Optical polarization; Optical scattering; Optical vortices

Abstract

Wavefront dislocations in scattering create an Aharonov-Bohm setting where nonconservative reaction forces can be detected experimentally. Observing the dynamics of microscopic particles clarifies the role the finite wave-packets on the transfer of wave's canonical momentum.
