Recent theoretical studies have revealed the existence of transverse optical orbital angular momentum (OAM), but suitable experimental tools to controllably generate light with these OAM states have been lacking. This year, we demonstrated a method for generating a spatio-temporal optical vortex that resembles a fast-advancing cyclone, with transverse OAM perpendicular to the propagation direction.
