Conservation law for angular momentum based on optical field derivatives: Analysis of optical spin-orbit conversion

We present a theoretical framework for analyzing the loss of optical angular momentum (AM), including spin AM (SAM) and orbital AM (OAM) components, in light-matter interactions. Conventional SAM and OAM conservation laws rely on transverse field components, neglecting longitudinal fields and limiti...
