Bell-like inequality for the spin-orbit separability of a laser beam

Bell-like inequality for the spin-orbit separability of a laser beam

In analogy with Bell's inequality for two-qubit quantum states we propose an inequality criterion for the non-separability of the spin-orbit degrees of freedom of a classical laser beam. A definition of separable and non-separable spin-orbit modes is used in consonance with the one presented in Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 160401 …
