RT Journal Article T1 Proposals for the generation of angular momentum from non-uniformly polarized beams A1 Serna Galán, Julio A1 Alonso, Mara A1 Piquero Sanz, Gemma María AB Several optical arrangements using non-uniformly polarized fields are proposed for generating beams with spin and/or orbital angular momentum. By choosing adequately the input beam polarization and the characteristics of the different proposed set-ups we can control the overall angular momentum of the output beam at will. The orbital angular momentum is analyzed with the beam moments theory and the spin term is evaluated using the averaged s(3) Stokes parameter.
