Abstract
I will present some of the latest results we have found regarding
the connection of the paraxial Orbital Angular Momentum and the
total Angular Momentum of an Electromagnetic Field. These results
are based on a decomposition of a paraxial field into Multipolar
fields. I will present some potential applications where this
knowledge could be of use.
