First email: 9 October 2018

Dear Prof. Dr. John F. Donegan:

I thank you, Kyle Ballantine and Prof. Paul Eastham, for your work within the first principles of light.  I am learning from you all.

I see that Prof. Paul Eastham is the corresponding author of the paper, and I will address my questions to him about an image (attached below). I am sure it is not of your making.  Images that provide a sense of the look and feel of “half-quantization of a total optical angular momentum” are not going to be quite so colorful!

Notwithstanding, I wanted to write to say, “Thank you.  Thank you.”

Most sincerely,

Bruce
