• TITLE: An Evanescent Light Wave Cannot Possess a Transverse Spin

  AUTHORS: Chunfang Li, Yunlong Zhang

  KEYWORDS: Nonexistence, Transverse Spin, Evanescent Light Wave

  JOURNAL NAME: Journal of Modern Physics, Vol.10 No.4, March 22, 2019

  ABSTRACT: It is pointed out that the evanescent light wave occurring at total reflection does not possess a transverse spin angular momentum as Bliokh, Bekshaev, and Nori claimed recently in (2014) Nature Communications, 5,3300. This is not only because of the nonlocality of the photon spin but also because the evanescent wave is such a state whose angular momentum cannot be separated into spin and orbital parts.
