Inhaltsangabe:
  • In this study, energy backflow in the Poynting vector, as well as its orbital and spin current density components, has been examined for a 2-dimensional causal unidirectional vector-valued monochromatic electromagnetic wave. Linear transverse electric (TE), transverse magnetic (TM), and circular polarization cases are considered and studied in detail, including both electric and magnetic contributions to the current density components. Spin current backflow has been found to be unexpectedly strong. A study of the energy backflow is also presented in the scalar version of the 2-dimensional monochromatic wave. A detailed study has been carried out of the correlation of the positions of energy backflows with local wavenumbers and their signs, the zeros of appropriate intensities and the presence of vortices.
