Abstract Jean-Pierre Galaup et Laurence Pruvost
Twisted light exchanged with atoms and optical tweezers.

A vortex beam -or twisted beam- characterized by a topological point on its wavefront is also carrying an orbital angular momentum (OAM). This quantized quantity is used in many contexts, as quantum computing or telecommunication. In Laboratoire A. Cotton we focus the studies on the exchange between optical vortices and atoms (cold or not) and with mesoscopic objects.
For this talk L. Pruvost will present vortex generation and detection and experiments on the OAM transfer via atomic ensembles. Using nonlinear processes, and with adequate configurations of the input light beams, storing/retrieval of OAM and amplification in the output vortex have been demonstrated [1,2,3]. In a recent experiment on Rb, the OAM transfer has been realized with a frequency conversion.
In a second part, J.- P. Galaup will present experiments and results on objects trapped in optical tweezers [4], and manipulated by spin angular momentum (SAM) and on the associated future developments.
