“…In the past, radiation torque effects originating from optical angular momentum were studied in waveplates [26], optically active medium [28], anisotropic crystals [29] and tweezed particles [30,31]. In more complex geometries, a spin Hall effect [32] associated with the Berry phase [33] was reported when circularly-polarized light was helically propagating in a cylinder while free to choose another trajectory in this cylinder.…”

We propose a light-structure interaction that utilizes circularly polarized light to deform a slightly bent waveguide. The mechanism allows for flipping the direction of deformation upon changing the binary polarization state of light from  to  .Radiation pressure has been found to cause mechanical displacement. This fact was used for controlling resonators [1][2][3][4][5] and waveguides [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. Such forces by light in optomechanical structures were reported in the past to originate from (i) scattering forces, such as the centrifugal radiation pressure that light applies while circulating in a ring [1][2][3], (ii) gradient forces in resonators and waveguides [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25], and (iii) electrostrictive pressure to excite vibration at high rates [4,5].In waveguide structures [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25], optical forces were suggested for all-optical reconfiguration of integrated optical devices [4], for manipulating the position of integrated optical components [6], for artificial materials [6,7] in which the internal mechanical configuration and resultant optical properties are coupled to incoming light signals [7], for tunable devices [7,8] such as actuators and transducers [8], and for more [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. In all of these studies [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] the gradient forces are independent by the polarization state of light.Here we suggest controlling the position of a bent waveguide with the angular momentum that light applies via its circular polarization. Unlike previous studies [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25], no other dielectrics are needed near the waveguide and changing the polarization will flip the deformation direction.While the linear momentum of a photon, h  , associated with gradient or scattering optical forces [1-25] is always along its propagation direction, a photon can also carry a different type of momentum: angular momentum [26] for which a binary vector [27] can be either with-or against-propagation. This corresponds to  angular momentum for a righthanded circularly polarized [RCP] photon and  angular momentum for a left-handed circularly polarized [LCP] photon. This type of angular momentum is called the intrinsic spin and is related to the fact that the photon is a spin-1 boson. We will refer to the photon in what follows as "spinning" to describe it containing angular momentum.In the past, radiation torque effects originating from optical angular momentum were studied in waveplates [26], optically active medium [28], anisotropic crystals [29] and tweezed particles [30,31]. In more complex geometries, a spin Hall effect [32] associated with the Berry phase [33] was reported when circularly-polarized light was helically propagating in a cylinder while free ...
