What Is the difference between orbital angular momentum and circular polarization?

Put this into English for those of us that are interested but can’t understand a WORD, please. :)

They crossed the beams. I thought you weren’t supposed to do that:)
To: Nateman
I give up.
Tell me the difference between orbital angular momentum and circular polarization.
I’m expecting a real knee slapper of an answer.

My mom taught me to ALWAYS keep my beams crossed.

Physics, need more physics
I couldn’t follow this new concept at all

Something like this could be just the thing for the Iranians to notch up their terrorism.

"They crossed the beams. I thought you weren’t supposed to do that:)"
That was true in the 1980s-1990s, but they've worked the technology out.

Circular polarized light has a "helical lead" that IS the wavelength. It is actually two light beams of the same frequency, colinear, one with horizontal and the other with vertical polarization.
I take OAM as having variable "helical lead" for a given wavelength of light. Not sure how this is made.

I’ll pass the request to some RATs. They know all about spin

The researchers suggest that it should be possible to use their technique to modulate the orbital angular momentum of light in ways very similar to modulating frequencies in communications equipment. This could lead to the development of novel devices that make use of manipulating extremely tiny materials.
...
I like to know about the possible applications.

Wrong. I predicted all that years ago! Unfortunately all my notes were lost (along with all my guns) in a boating accident.

Yeah, man, like I saw this at the Planetarium in Seattle.
Think they were playing Pink Floyd.
It was far out.

Polar is based on phase. Momentum is based on angular velocity.
