Every category you have named, wavelength/frequency, intensity (function of frequency), linear momentum (function of frequency), polarization are properties that individual photons have. It is possible to construct photon detectors that are able to resolve these properties for a single photon thrown at them. Orbital angular momentum is also a property of single photons, related to the shape of their wave function. You can read about it and see some example shapes on the wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_angular_momentum_of_li... I can't think of a property of light that is only in the bulk and not at the single photon level (somebody correct me if I am wrong). But I haven't read this paper in any detail to find if the "torque" is a bulk property or a single photon property. |
