Fundamental question: What are the complete physical characteristics of EM radiation? Start from the beginning: the microscopic Maxwell-Lorentz equations
Symmetric under inhomogeneous Lorentz transformations. The concomitant Lie group is the 10-dimensional Poincaré group P(10). According to Noether’s theorem there therefore exist 10 conserved EM quantities. In fact there exist 23 exact continuous symmetries/conserved quantities (in vacuo), plus an as yet unknown number of approximate, conservation laws [Ibragimov, 2008]. Bo Thidé

Conserved quantities in EM fields and matter (1) Homogeneity in time => conservation of system energy (Poynting’s theorem):

Total radiated EM field angular momentum For radiation beams in free space, EM field angular momentum Jem can be separated into two parts [Jackson, 1998; Thidé, 2009]:
For each single Fourier mode in real-valued representation [van Enk & Nienhuis, 1992]:
The first part is the EM spin angular momentum (SAM) Sem , a.k.a. wave polarisation, and the second part is the EM orbital angular momentum (OAM) Lem . NB: In general, both EM linear momentum pem, and EM angular momentum Jem = Lem + Sem are radiated all the way out to the far zone! Bo Thidé
