The Photon Hall Pinwheel Radiation of Angular Momentum by a Diffusing Magneto-optical Medium
Résumé
We consider an optically thick spherical agglomerate of magneto-optical scatterers with a central isotropic, unpolarized light source, placed in a homogeneous magnetic field. The Photon Hall Effect induces a rotating Poynting vector, both inside and outside the medium. We show that electromagnetic (orbital) angular momentum leaks out and induces a torque proportional to the injection power of the source and the photon Hall angle.
