This paper presents a novel method for measuring the Poynting vector characteristics of monochromatic electromagnetic waves. We outline a specific design for such a meter and provide experimental data to validate the approach. For testing purposes, we utilized vortex beams with both linear and circular polarization.
The behavior of instantaneous and averaged vectors of the Poynting vector transverse component for the resulting field formed as a superposition of waves with different frequencies and different polarizations is considered. Results of computer simulation and experimental data are obtained for the superposition of frequently differed vortices with different and the same signs of topological charges. It is shown that the captured particle rotates due to the orbital momentum and substantial increase of particle rotation speed in the case of polychromatic radiation as opposed to monochromatic is observed.
