英文摘要

We present a theoretic analysis on (azimuthal) spin momentum-dependent orbital motion experienced by particles in a circularly-polarized annular focused field. Unlike vortex phase-relevant (azimuthal) orbital momentum flow whose direction is specified by the sign of topological charge, the direction of (azimuthal) spin momentum flow is determined by the product of the field's polarization ellipticity and radial derivative of field intensity. For an annular focused field with a definite polarization ellipticity, the intensity's radial derivative has opposite signs on two sides of the central ring (intensity maximum), causing the spin momentum flow to reverse its direction when crossing the central ring. When placed in such a spin momentum flow, a probe particle is expected to response to this flow configuration by changing the direction of orbital motion as it traversing from one side to the other. The reversal of the particle's orbital motion is a clear sign that spin momentum flow can affect particles' orbital motion alone even without orbital momentum flow. More interestingly, for dielectric particles the spin momentum-dependent orbital motion tends to be 'negative', i.e., in the opposite direction of the spin momentum flow. This arises mainly because of spin-orbit interaction during the scattering process. For the purpose of experimental observation, we suggest the introduction of an auxiliary radially-polarized illumination to adjust the particle's radial equilibrium position, for the radial gradient force of the circularly-polarized annular focused field tends to constrain the particle at the ring of intensity maximum.
