Transverse spin forces and non-equilibrium particle dynamics in a circularly polarized vacuum optical trap

We provide a vivid demonstration of the mechanical effect of transverse spin momentum in an optical beam in free space. This component of the Poynting momentum was previously thought to be virtual, and unmeasurable. Here, its effect is revealed in the inertial motion of a probe particle in a circula...
