Integer and fractional angular momentum borne on self-trapped necklace-ring beams
We present self-trapped necklace-ring beams that carry and conserve angular momentum. Such beams can have a fractional ratio of angular momentum to energy, and they exhibit a series of phenomena typically associated with rotation of rigid bodies and centrifugal force effects.
