disappear to?
Cylindrical symmetry means no angular momentum is transferred to the

Fascinating! What does the far field look like?
Far field Angle Angle Intensity (arb. units)
Far field Angle Angle Intensity (arb. units) No hole in
the middle!
Far field Component with the same handedness as the input
(σ+) Component with opposite handedness to the input (σ−)
Phase of central spot Component with the same handedness as

We found, constructed, and understood a novel spin-to-orbit angular momentum
coupling device.
