Photoelectronic mapping of the spin–orbit interaction of intense light fields
The interaction between a quantum particle’s spin angular momentum 1 and its orbital angular momentum 2 is ubiquitous in nature. In optics, the spin–orbit optical phenomenon is closely related with the light–matter interaction 3 and has been of great interest 4 , 5 . With the development of laser te...
