Light carries spin angular momentum (SAM) in the form of its helicity, but it can also carry orbital angular momentum (OAM) in the form of vortex beams. This phenomenon was also shown for surface plasmon polaritons (SPP), where a phase vortex can be generated in 2D. We measured the interaction between light carrying axial SAM and plasmon vortices with high order transverse OAM.

The interaction is mediated via two-photon absorption on a gold surface, imprinting the resulting angular momentum mixing into matter by excitation of electrons that are photo-emitted into vacuum and detected by PEEM. We show that this interaction leads to both single and double photon-plasmon angular momentum mixing processes. The different mixing processes can be identified with specific quantum pathways of the electron excitation. In an interferometric pump-probe experiment, we isolate these pathways by frequency decomposition of the phase-resolved signal.
