contents Imaginary Poynting momentum (IPM) provides a new degree of freedom for particle manipulation. However, the application of IPM in experiments has been largely unexplored. Here, we demonstrate the IPM driven particle rotation by cylindrically polarized Gaussian beams with no spin or orbital angular momentum. Theoretical analysis and experimental measurements demonstrate that gold microparticles will be rotated in the azimuthal direction while confined in the radial direction. We achieved controllable rotation of the particle by tuning the cylindrical polarization state. Interestingly, the transfer of IPM to a gold particle is demonstrated to be competitive with that of spin angular momentum. These findings hold promising in light-matter interactions and particle manipulations.
