light orbital angular momentum (again!)

Hi,

There's a new article about detecting light's orbital angular momentum, this time from Harvard, is this just a terminonly confusion with the light polarization or is it actually OAM? They use nano-etched gold holograms to act as a plasmonic resonator to distinguish light with OAM of -1,0,+1

I guess a link to the article would help. Optical angular momentum seems to be a bit of a research 'fad' these days. At the last March APS meeting everyone was talking about topological insulators. (Not that that's has any relation to OAM... just another fad.)
