Show affiliations


A very brief comment concerning the literature relating to the angular momentum of light is followed by a précis of a review article on the orbital angular momentum of light published in 1999. An outline is then given of the key developments since 1999 in the study of the angular momentum of light and of the related topic of optical vortices.
