Abstract
Absorption of a circularly polarized light beam without an azimuth phase structure in a dielectric is calculated in the frame of the classical electrodynamics. We consider transferring of angular momentum and energy to the dielectric. Our theoretic result differs from the experimental result of Bishop et al. [6] (Phys. Rev. Let. V. 92, 198104 (2004)). We found that the torque acting on the dielectric consists of a surface part and a bulk part that equal one another. The theoretic value of the total angular momentum of the beam is twice as much as the experimental result.Download
