摘要：
The continuous-variable (CV) orbital angular momentum (OAM) entanglement is very different to the traditional quadrature entanglement. The Stokes-operators directly reflect the character of OAM light. Here, we report the first direct experimental demonstration the Stokes-operator entanglement of continuous-variable OAM entanglement. Generated by transforming quadrature entanglement in the HG(01) mode onto the orbital Stokes-operator basis, the entanglement is measured in the Stokes-operator basis using a self-designed detection scheme. An inseparability of I((O) over cap (2), (O) over cap (3)) < 1 is achieved over a wide analyzing frequency of 1-10 MHz. Moreover, experimental fluctuations at 5.0 MHz are visualized using the quantum orbital Poincare sphere representation. The OAM entanglement with Stokes-operators measurement has a promising application in certain nonlocal quantum information protocols and rotational optomechanics by interacting with nanoparticle or atoms.
