We describe the high order elliptic hermite gaussian beam and the average orbital angular momentum of single-photon, and analyze some situations of the change of orbital angular momentum, briefly by the simulation. Finally, the probability distribution and changes in the probability distribution within the range of space for the single-photon orbital angular momentum are analyzed. The results show that the change magnitude of the single-photons average orbital angular momentum varies with the material when the high order elliptic Hermite-Gaussian beam interacts with mater.
