Integral and fractional orbital angular momentum of light

Orbital angular momentum of light is a new field of research which is concerned with the mechanical and optical effects of light with a helical phase structure. In this thesis we ask fundamental questions on the properties of light carrying orbital angular momentum. We discuss the uncertainty relati...
