Abstract
Light has angular momentum. Angular momentum can be classified into: spin angular momentum and orbital angular momentum. Due to the handedness of the circularly polarized spin states, they show spin Hall effect. Analogously, orbital angular momentum also exhibits Hall effect which has not yet been experimentally realized. In this work, we developed a setup for observing orbital angular momentum Hall effect of light by detecting the orbital angular momentum spectrum of the light beam. The setup was tested with beams of known orbital angular momentum distributions and was also used to probe and quantify the orbit-orbit interactions due to refection from a refecting surface.
