Transverse Shifts in Paraxial Spinoptics (1202.2430v2)
Published 11 Feb 2012 in physics.optics, cond-mat.other, hep-th, math-ph, and math.MP
Abstract: The paraxial approximation of a classical spinning photon is shown to yield an "exotic particle" in the plane transverse to the propagation. The previously proposed and observed position shift between media with different refractive indices is modified when the interface is curved, and there also appears a novel, momentum [direction] shift. The laws of thin lenses are modified accordingly.
