This work has been supported by the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación of Spain, project FIS2010-17543.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.engProposals for the generation of angular momentum from non-uniformly polarized beamsjournal articlehttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0030401811013526http://www.sciencedirect.comopen access535Partially Coherent BeamsOptical-SystemsLightLawsPhysical OpticsPolarizationBeam CharacterizationAngular MomentumFísica (Física)Óptica (Física)22 Física2209.19 Óptica Física
